Well, Hello!
We are at the last day of the month and I have a few other posts to get done today. I want to be able to start next month off better than this one. So, today we are going to be doing three posts and then hopefully we will be better!
So, this is one of those off months were I don't have one person to talk about for my Best Friends Project. So, I will be talking about my thoughts on friends, the movie that I watched, what this month's theme is and what I did send to my Best Friends.
Let us start with the movie.
This months movie shows a whole bunch of BFFs in many different stages of life. Some of these friendships are mom and daughters and some have been with each other many many years. Some start anew at the very beginning of the movie. However, the whole movie is about a group of women who celebrate, laugh, cry, and mourn with each other. The best parts is that all of these ladies have many different personalities and you would think don't mesh well together but they work wonderfully. They help with life lessons, and they prove that they are going to be with each other no matter what.
It's been a very long time since I have seen this movie because the first time that I did watch it made me cry very hard. I knew that enough time had passed and that it was going to make me cry again. It did, for the record. what I really love about this movie is one of the things I love most about best friends. Friendship develops over time. Well, at least a lasting one does. We have all had those friends that we are super close to for a while but then they fade. The great things about Best Friends is that no matter where you are in life those people still support you. They love you. They listen when you are going throw very different stages in life.
The other great thing about friendships is that age doesn't really matter. Truth be told it does until you are an adult yourself. When you are a child it's hard to be BFF's with someone who is older but two of my best friends are my mom and my friend Jeannie, who is another one of my BFF's mom. They are older than me but we can still be friends and supportive. It's great to to have different ages of friends because they have already been through my age and can give better advise for me now. Trust me I have been given a lot of that.
I know that I have done many a great things with my friends in the last few years. I have seen many get married, and have been in their weddings. I am an aunt to four of their children. I have gone of vacations, and random trips, and good restaurants over the years and we are all at different stages of life. However, none of that has ever stopped us from loving and caring for each other. We all try to help each other in any way we can no matter what is gong on in our own lives.
I believe if your friendships don't develop and grow they are never going to last.
This month's theme is Honesty. We have all gone through rough patches of having to be really honest with our friends. We also need to be honest with ourselves to be better friends. So, the question is, how do you represent honest with a gift? Well, in the research that I have done in honesty most of the things that I have found to be helpful is journaling. If you journal you are being honest with your inner most feelings about yourself or a situation. So, I bought everyone a little notebook that they can use to journal in, or to use as anything really. In the first page I wrote everyone a note of how I honestly feel about them. I also gave them a little pen for them to use in the journal. I told them they as long as they use the journal honestly they will be using this gift correctly.
Remember how I said that there would be extra fun surprises along the way? Well, this month kicks them off! In everyone's list that was given to me everyone had at least one funny trait listed. This month I used the one that Jeannie gave me. Her trait was "not clingy". I was thrilled to have these bonus gift because then they would be funny! So, I gave everyone a little bag of dryer sheets. They make things not clingy! They also smell really good when you are working with them! So, that was everyone's fun little bonus gift!
I am very excited to say that next month I am ahead of the game! I already have the gift bought! I just have to get them ready to send out!
