Today I had coffee with a good friend that I had not seen for a while, it was a very last minute meeting but it was great; it often amazes me (with this person especially) how whenever I spend time with him, regardless of what's going in on our lives or how long it's been since we've been in the same room, we always go back to where we left off and it's as though nothing has happened and nothing has changed. Most of the time we joke around, but every once in a while, we'll have what seems to resemble a serious conversation, and today there were glimpses of that, and there is one thing in particular that stuck out to me from our conversation. He told me that the best things are always, always worth waiting for. I said, what if I spend all this time waiting, and end up wasting all this time waiting for something that never happens? His answer: "then it isn't the best thing, and in the time you spend waiting, the real best thing will come along instead". I think that's almost another way of saying that things always work out in the end, and if they don't, it's not the end... he's a smart guy.
I need to remind myself of that more often. It's funny, because I totally believe that and say it to other people, but I never remind myself when I need to hear it.
So friend, if you're out there reading this,
Thank you for saying what I needed to hear, and for knowing me well enough to know I needed to hear it.
AND, he was super awesome and bought me one of the books on my summer reading list!! I've been looking for it for 6 months, it's not in print any longer, but it is a brand new (used) version for me:) Thank you so very much!
