As long as I can remember, I process tough issues better when I can talk it out. My friends have become sounding boards, each with a different role. Sometimes I want to gently explore a topic. Sometimes I want to cut through the bull and be called out on what may be hiding beneath the issue. And sometimes I want to hear the opposite view so I can feel the strength of my argument and if I truly believe what I say.
I have an amazing group of friends that support this. I love the diversity and differing view points that create these dynamic friendships. I could not imagine my life without these sounding boards and the beautiful friendship that grows from talking and honoring our differences.
I'm grateful for the friendships that are strong enough to be sounding boards. I'm grateful for the friends that are strong enough to have their own beliefs and not be threatened when those differ from mine. I'm grateful for the respect we build with each other in honoring the differences. And I'm grateful for the greater understanding I get from processing out loud. I'm so grateful for amazing friends and real conversations. I'm grateful for all the conversations I had yesterday with friends that helped me find clarity.
How do you process difficult issues? Do you have sounding boards in your life? Do you celebrate diversity in your group of friends or focus on the similarities?
May today support our friendships. May we find time to communicate with our friends and may we be open to diversity in our friendships. Have a beautiful day!
