Summer '11 in iPhone pictures

Apparently, I only take iPhone pictures of my dog and Travis.

Exclusivity.

I really hope my title is actually a word. 

My summer has been incredible, I have been able to catch up with friends, make some extra moolah and even go on a vacation. I think this summer has been a true wake up call for me in the friend department though. Without going too in depth, I have been hurt for awhile over the fact that some friendships of mine feel strained and disconnected. At times I have felt excluded. I felt like I had been dumped, singled out and left to dry. For awhile I blamed myself...

 "I'm not fun enough"

"They must hate me" 

blahblahblah. 

Then it hit me. Exclusivity stems from insecurity. 

Unless you have done something major to hurt a friend, the reason for their moodiness is most likely one thing. You have something that they don't. Ever since I realized this, I have been able to better understand the ebb and flow of my friendships. While I do hope that a year from now I can say that all is well with my friendships in question, I will not dwell on the people that have hurt me. I will instead think fondly about them and hope that whatever the problem is, they sort it out. The friends I do have are the most wonderful friends I could ask for, loyal, funny and caring.

The only thing I choose to be exclusive about is my happiness because that is worth protecting more than anything.

Sorry..

My life has been a little busy lately and I haven't even thought of good things to blog about! I have not forgotten about this dear blog though, I am simply suffering from "bloggers block"

Here is a video me and my puppy made for you all today. I hope this satiates your thirst for Bloggy Woggy posts.

I will be back soon.
