The older I get, the more it is proved to me that some of the people that I thought were my friends really aren't. They are people that I have known for years. They are in different circles of friends. Some of them overlap into more than one group. People I thought I could trust. People that I thought had my back. But, not so much.
Oddly enough, I am okay with this fact. I'd rather know than keep on going thinking differently. If I have learned nothing else in my older years, it's this.....
Don't get me wrong. I have lots of friends. Some of you I have met right here on this blog and you mean the world to me. I have some wonderful friends who have been my friends since we went to school together. Friends I have met through work and my kids. Friends who I love like my family and that love me right back.
I'm just happy to have finally figured out who's who.
The five minutes went so fast writing this week. Stop over at Jaime's and check out all the #SOC posts and join in, if you'd like. It can be so good for the soul.
I have not blogged since spring. It has been an amazingly busy spring and summer. I kept saying I was going to get back to blogging, but just never quite made it happen.
