Irony

Tonight I went to a 4th of July get together at my friend/co-worker’s, Jason, house.  It was a fun time, which included good food, good drinks, fireworks wizzing by my head (I have all facial features and appendages intact), and tons of laughs.  Most of those laughs can at the expense of others, but how else do I normally handle those. 

All of this celebration made me realize that I have more friends at this point in my life than I ever have.  Seriously, I have rekindled friendships, started new ones and continued ones that I have always had and it’s filled my life with good times.  I have, to be fair, lost a few friends as of late, who I wish would forgive me and communicate, but I can’t force that issue.  If they choose that I’m not someone they want to be friends with anymore, I can do nothing more than hope the best things for them and keep up hope we’ll be friends again.  Strangely enough, thoughts of all my friends made me realize something interesting.

When my ex broke it off with me (by the way, thank goodness she did), one of the reasons she stated she lost faith in me was my lack of ability to make new friends in Australia.  I did point out, that it’s not easy to make new friends when all you do is work, and hang out with her, but oh well.  Funny thing is, ever since she and I seperated, I have made more friends now than I ever thought I would.

Isn’t it ironic….don’t ya think?
