Today was a great day for me and H and our friendship!
I got a phone call from the company I'm renting from who've decided to put in a whole new bathroom in my house. Amazing! I was so excited I immediately texted H and said I'm getting a new bathroom! he replied we talked about that.
Then after lunch he sent me a text and said there were huge thunderstorms (in the town where he works) and it was just like the time you'd get where we used to live. he said "it's like being home again" I texted him and said that he was trying to make me emotional LOL and that with weather like this we should be (and I listed a few things from back home..painted a little picture that previously would have made us both homesick) then I told him how crazy work was...so it wouldn't just be a "reminiscing text" He replied just about work, made a joke and it was nice.
A bit later I texted him about some flooding near him and we talked about that.
I don't over think things and it just flows. He's coming over tomorrow night and we're doing yard work together.
I feel like I'm now getting that friendship that I was so upset about mid June. Things are so much better....because I dropped the rope. Stopped expecting things or hoping things, stopped giving my friendship on the condition that I got the friendship that I wanted to have with him and instead accepted what he was offering. I kept telling myself that I needed to do that for a long time, it just took awhile to go from my head, to my heart, to my actions.
