healing power of friendships

I'm having one of those days when it feels like there is nothing wrong with the world. I'm happy with life, and happy to finally be moving forward. It's easy to be lighthearted once you can actually let go of the past. I've still got a lot to let go of, but every day that passes brings more release.

Last night I dreamed about Chris and was having a hard time shaking it. All I can keep reminding myself is of a quote I read, "Don't worry about the people in your past, there's a reason they didn't make it to your future." I shouldn't even allow my thoughts to dwell on him for more than a few seconds because he's not even worth it, shouldn't even be worth mentioning, but I couldn't help it.

I'm about to head out for some much needed girl time with Jackie and Lynsey. I would be lost without my amazing friends. Did you know that a person who has a sense of belonging has a better chance of staying healthy than someone who is isolated? I don't know all the science behind it, but it directly affects the activity of your immune system, and also fights off all the obvious stuff like anxiety and depression. Crazy. Guess that's my random fact for the day.
