When something or someone stops making you happy for a prolonged period of time, it may be time to re-evaluate that thing or person. Sometimes we don't want to reevaluate, even if we need to, like right now. But other times, reevaluating comes as an eye opener, whether it's to keep or let go.
Last night I had a dinner with a new friend, who I think will become a very dear friend of mine. We will call her Sailoress. (I made that up because there isn't a female version for sailor.) Sailoress and I chatted for hours about life, love and relationships. We discussed our hardships and happy times, but we also discussed this idea of reevaluating.
She made a very good point about the positive side of reevaluating - if you don't reevaluate, you may take for granted what you have. I love this idea! I love the fact that reevaluating can be more than deciding to keep or let go of someone. Reevaluating can be a reflection on the depth of a relationship and why you value it. Reevaluating can be a reminder to be grateful for what you do have.
I hadn't thought about it that way. Sometimes we need that little refresher though to realize who we truly care about and to realize who has those important qualities that you look for in a friendship or relationship. Reevaluate away!
