Are you to tired for friends?

Hi there.
I hope that you're well, and keeping warm.
As winter creeps in, we like to hide indoors and just drink our lattes and read.
I do that.
I was on a walk around my area with my brother, and I was dressed in my best skirt, boots and jacket.
I thought we'd go to town have some lunch and have a nice time.
Instead, we walked through farm land, through poo, and walking on sand.
My brother is down from Auckland, and so he saw it as an adventure.
I saw it, as ''oh lets stop at new world and stock up on the latest chocolate cake, or chocolate bar and go and get a coffee while we're at it.''
I was already on our walk, thinking about what to have for lunch.
Oh often do we go through, life looking for the next new thing?
Or the next new goal to achieve.
We are always on the next new hunt.
It got me thinking about the people who are closest to me.
I actually had a thought the other day, on things I've learnt, and things I can actually leave behind.
I can try my best at my job, I can do what I need to do, not just do a half job, but be a team leader.
sometimes we need to get a new mind, sometimes we need to get away and just see how life really is.
If things aren't making you excited ask God for what else he's got in store for you.
This isn't just stabbing in the dark, we're not just waiting around for a second wind.
We are called to go out there, and change what we can.
If you like looking out for the lonely people go and have a cup of tea with them.
If you think you can raise the bar at your work, raise it.
If you're wondering if it's too late to do something, it's never to late.
Live like there's no tomorrow.
Make friends along the way.
Continue with the friends you've got, and look out for others.
Get a healthy out look on life, get plenty of sleep, good food, and exercise, both your body and your faith.
It will be painful at the start, but you're building up friendships that people are looking for.
People will come to you and say, '' you're the only one that offered me......''
So not just close up shop, don't just say another day. '' I'' do it''
Start today.
Don't be too tired to see your friends.
Chloe
