Reflections

Please know this is written in a very light hearted tone and only as a personal reflection on my personal experience.  You might not be able to relate to this post at all.  I'm sorry if that is the case, I will try better next time. ;)

I hate realizing too late that a few friendships & even neighborly friendliness has faded big time.  But even more so is knowing it happened because of someone else's deceit & no matter how little they are in my life now, they've still accomplished what they were after- sabotaging my friendships for their selfish gain.  And clearly they decided to do this before we even officially met.
I should be a good enough friend to fix it, but I'm not.  & the truth is, that's okay with me. 
If someone is so easily influenced by someone else's opinion of me, that's their weakness, not mine. 
I have the best friend I could ask for in my husband & my family, & my true friends.  I'm blessed to still have my mom (my first best friend), I talk to one of my brothers a couple times a week & I have an incredible extended family.  Above all, I have God's love.  & as the song says, love is all you need. 
Or is it?  You decided (for yourself, not me, my mind is made up).
