Relationships grow so much stronger if they can survive the storms life has to offer. I love the metaphors and descriptiveness of your row boat, the analogies to the relationship, and the fruition of that perseverance ❤ You always delight with your writing — thank you so much for sharing it with our wonderful writing community 🙂
Yes, I take my writing intentionally. Sometimes I don’t respond to the prompts, challenges right away because I want to write something meaningful to myself, at least! Thank you for the comment!
Hmm you will definitely be feeling good and spanking new after this. That cathartic feeling that a spot of cleaning brings along with it is quite tangible 🙂
Thank you Elizabeth! You’re lucky when you have a handful (count fingers) of close friends in the same boat. Then you have social friends, then you have acquaintance.
I don’t have too many close friends wither. I have a whole bunch of good friends. I’m invited to most of parties, weddings, showers. But close friends with heart to heart conversation, I don’t have too many!
I know how important it is to have at least a few close friends, so I had coached my daughter to develop the friendships. Now she feels comfortable to share critical things with a few close friends. I’m one of them, so I’m not there most of the times. So I’m glad she could have a cup of coffee with friends close by and talk!
Hi Dwight, disaster can take people in all kinds of directions! Even little things can enhance or destroy relationship. I have been in both situations and in different boats. Thank you for your comment! Miriam
