You know I have had quite a rough summer. I bet you had it too. I wonder if there is a person on this planet who never has rough and everything goes always just fine without difficulties. It might seem out someone is like that, but when you find out more, it really seems on the planet is no person without rough days.
Because of my work as a teacher I have been seeking meditation cards and found out at least in Finland they are creepy expensive. After seeking months I found this with 20€ at local super market. It is made by Pequ Nieminen. Yesterday morning when it was time to return back to the work after summer break I -for some weird reason- noticed this pack has 52 cards and I realized it's for a year because there are 52 weeks in every year. Randomly I picked up one card. Looked at it for a moment and started to think I could keep that idea with me for the whole week and randomly pick up the next card on the next Monday. And I decided to share this with you because...
The message of the card of this week was FRIENDS. Instead of acting illegal and sharing the picture of the card which copyrights I don't own I decided to show you a picture of mine that's connected to the theme and the ideas rising up because of it.
What friends and the word friends mean to me. What is the message to me? Well, 1st I thought I need to remember to get in touch with my friends despite the busy working season begins again with all of us. Then I was thinking about Him who is my best and the most important friend. I was thinking about all my furry friends. But then I was thinking about also you who read my blog -my open diary about crafts and a bit more. If me and you meet on the street or in the woods we don't know each others. But we do are connected via this blog.
Also, friends may be irritating, interrupting, but still always there for you when you need them. In my opinion the best thing in friendship is when it gets old. When you loose the need to explain it all. Why you are happy, why you are upset. Your friend knows you and opposite. You know already the why. That is what I love in long term old friendships. They are rare, life long even more rare. Some people just stop in your life, some come and go, but the ones who stay despite they know it all about you, that really is something.
Feeling lonely is very common emotion. You might have people surrounding you but you still feel lonely. Even you'd have friends you can feel lonely. In my own experience, when you find that missing piece, it helps in the feeling of loneliness and not belonging or not being part of something. The most difficult thing is to find out what is your missing piece. I hope you have found it already.
For me FRIENDS means also very strongly the nature and all the creatures in it and the spirits. I feel strongly connected to the nature. It is difficult to explain but it is like my limb: leg or arm. It is part of me. It is not just the air that I breath or the place I like to be. I really feel it is part of me and if you take it away I feel like missing a limb.
Also, I think you need to be yourself best friend. You get quite bad days if you don't know yourself or don't like yourself. Yourself is the person you spend most of the time in your life with. It is awful if you are having bad company!
