What relationships have a positive impact on you?
This question is a prompt for blogging on my WordPress dot com site. I love the question!
For me, all relationships end up having a positive impact on me. While it may not appear so in the moment, or even some time years later, the unpleasant ones have had a lesson for me to learn. They all have contributed to my personal development through life and that’s a positive thing!
I really appreciate the relationships of family, including extended family. So many fun times growing up that continue to exist today, when we get together. There is always a ton of laughter with my Clark family and for that, I am very grateful.
Through all the ups and downs of a stressful divorce years ago, I really appreciate my childrens’ resilience through it all. I know it wasn’t easy at times. It was tough and I appreciate we’re on the other side of it. I appreciate that it’s now in the rear view mirror and we have no where to go but forward. I love them so much!
I love the time I’ve reconnected with childhood friends since the pandemic. We’ve got a strong friendship that’s survived many decades and are creating new memories through our almost daily chats everyday.
My Hawkeye Twitter family brings me great joy and laughter, most of the time! I’m pretty active on Twitter and there’s a strong community of Hawkeye fans there who make it always an interesting experience. I connected with some when I lived in New York City so that when I moved back to Iowa City, I was invited to check out their tailgate at 1122 Melrose. It was so great meeting people in person! It now has become my favorite tailgating spot for home football games.
These are just a few examples of relationships I appreciate. Life is about the relationships in life, so always take the time to savor them!
