Yesterday, my best friend got home from a camping trip and called me in the afternoon asking if I wanted to come sit on her deck, and go for a swim inher pool. It was over 90°. Of course, I went had had a lovely afternoon catching up with her and her family.
Last night I got a friend request on Facebook from a woman who worked for me 30 years ago when she was in college. We chatted for a couple of hours. Though she is 15 or so years younger than I, we had a bond then, and it was like it was never broken. She has had a good life, and is still married to the man she got engaged to then. It was like a gift from the universe to hear from her, and to know how fondly she remembered and thought of me.
I have such a rich full life. I see now that I don’t need to waste it on people who have no intentions with me, except to satisfy themselves. Older and wiser, I know that someday there will be a significant other in my life who cherishes our friendship and all I can offer him. Until he shows up, my friends will celebrate life with me.
I am blessed. Totally blessed. More than one lesson has been learned in the past few months, and I’m grateful for all of them.

Im glad to hear you’re doing much better 🙂
Thanks. I have been ok, but for some reason it hit me with absolutely clarity who he was snd what he wanted from me. I kept trying to break it off, he kept luring me back, playing on my sympathies, on my soft heart, he was sick, he was sorry…why he did it I will never know. I suppose it was just an ego boost to him, to use me and manipulate me that way. But it won’t happen again. I totally get it now. Thanks for your good vibes!
It’s always much easier and clearer to see once you’ve separated yourself from the emotions. Sometimes we will never know the reasons as to why people do certain things. And sometimes it’s best not to know I think and accept things for the way they are. Because the truth may even harder to take in and the spiral will start again. Take care, Deb. x
So happy for you.
I’ve learned that lesson lately too and it’s very liberating to know we are worth more than we sometimes settle for and there’s no need to sell ourselves short. By holding out we attract the quality of people we deserve. The hard part is the waiting – good people are hard to find.
Be well and stay blessed. 🙂
It’s amazing to me how my perception just kind of slid into focus. No more angst, or unanswered questions. No confusion. Just go to the light. Simple. Thank you for your thoughts. 🙂
