Bless your friends with love and let them go!

I bless all of my best friends with love; in fact, I bless all the people I consider friends, and there are tonnes, with love.

I bless the ones that are overseas with love and hope they know I miss them and I love them.
I bless the ones I see every year with love and hope they know I love seeing them whenever they turn up.
I bless the ones I see every few months with love and hope they know that for me our connection is constant and they are loved.
I bless the ones I see every couple of weeks with love and hope they know that I think of them often and they are loved.
I bless the ones I see every week with love and hope they know that, even though we piss each other off sometimes and they can drive me crazy, they are LOVED TOO! I bless them with extra love because apart from being my best friends, I understand that sometimes familiarity breeds contempt or even just a little snippyness or even, quelle horreur, presumption!

I bless my best friends with love even though sometimes they are the only ones being patronising to me. I bless my best friends with love even though sometimes they are the only ones undermining me. I bless my best friends with love even though sometimes they are the only ones hurting my feelings. I bless my best friends with love even though sometimes they are the only ones making me feel bad. I bless my best friends with love and hope that with discussion and some learning they will hear my distress and understand that neither they, nor I deserve to be treated badly by people who supposedly love them.
Even so, I bless my nearest and dearest friends with love because the only way you end up with nearest and dearest friends of any kind is by having the odd slanging match, talking it over, listening, trying to understand the other person's point of view, hearing what they have to say and hopefully, moving on to an even better, truthful, and ultimately more intimate understanding of the other person. So for these special people, I reserve an extra special blessing of love - one that's like a blanket that wraps us in mutual forgiveness, understanding and kindness.

I bless the people I don't like with love, because even though I wish they would just drop off the end of the planet, they make me appreciate the people I love all the more.
I bless the people I don't like with love, because even though they affect my day and intrude on my life in a negative manner, it makes me appreciate the person I am more because I'm not like them!
I bless the people I don't like with love, because even though they seem to spread dread, angst and a great deal of annoyance to many people around them, they give me something to aim NOT to be - and make me look at and work on my own defficiencies, and how I affect the world around me.
I bless myself with love because modesty, sometimes, is for the birds! - and I'm pretty cool!

I bless my friends with love and I let them go. I bless them with love and let them go to be who they need to be even if that doesn't include me. I bless them with love and hope their lives are filled with love and joy and that they are blessed with all they ever want or need. I bless them with love and hope that they always know that I will always think of them as friends even if they don't feel the same way.
I bless my friendships with love and let them go if they are starting to fade away. I bless my friendships with love and let them go if they have run their course. I bless my friendships with love and let them go if they must end. I bless my friendships with love and even though losing some along the way saddens me immensely, I know that the ones that replace those lost are always better and more intimately fulfilling in the long term. I bless them with love and hope they go onto bigger and better and more fulfilling friendships in the future. I bless them with love and I let them go.

I am willing to let go. I release. I let go. I release all tension. I release all fear. I release all anger. I release all guilt. I release all resentment. I release all sadness. I let go of all old limitations. I let go of all that is unlike love. I let go and I am at peace. I am at peace with the process of life. I am at peace with myself. I am at peace with the universe.
I am at peace with my friends and family and everyone else I come into contact with. I bless them with love.

Bless your friends with love because they are never yours to keep. Bless your friends with love and know that true friends come from being true yourself. Bless your friends with love and appreciate and cherish the good and if they are worth it, accept the bad. Bless your friends with love and let them go.

Cherish those who turn up!

Bless the world with love.
