"..this thing that you are doing I don't like it and if we are going to be friends we are going to have to do something about that. So you tell them and they STILL DO IT. They are not your friend. LET THEM GO." ~ Tyler Perry's character Madea
I was never stupid but I have suffered from a personal character flaw of patience and forgiveness. Are those attributes blessings or curses because at times it seems to welcome in more grief than glory.
Insight and awareness are not enough. Transcendence and growth is about action. Let go of things you don't want in order to create space for what you do want in your life. In other words letting go of the people who can't love to make room for someones who can.
This place, this moment in time is short and precious and a blessing. To hold on to something or someone who's attention you just can't get? Why do you torture yourself so? Time is ticking away. They told you who they are. Accept it. Move on.
"Being alone and happy........... is better than having people in your life that make you wonder what the hell they are there for." ~ Tyler Perry's character Madea.
None of us is given a lifetime. We're given one day at a time. We're given this day. Don't spend today worrying about whether the next one's going to come or where it's going to lead. The joy is in not missing a second of today, in the depth and the power of this very moment.~ Mary Manin Morrissey

We all have character flaws, my friend, and living with them is a lesson in itself. I'm very much in favor of finding peace and happiness in yourself alone before trying to reach out. I wasn't that way before losing my husband. I allowed his moodss to color my day. Living with myself has been a lesson on being responsible for my own feelings and emotions. I care, very much. Sharon
