"There comes a time in life, when you walk away from all the drama and the people who create it. You surround yourself with people who make you laugh, forget the bad, and focus on the good. So love the people who treat you right. Forget about those who don't. Life is too short to be anything but happy!"
~~ Cindy Jones Evans
WOW! A friend posted this as her status on Facebook today. What powerful words. What powerful thoughts. What truthful sentiments. This friend keeps me grounded.
A couple of years ago I made the conscious decision to do this very thing in my life. There were friends whom I loved dearly but were so full of negativity, bitterness, and jealousy that they were toxic. Being in their very presence was a "downer." Their negativity, bitterness, and jealousy simply continued to pull me down in life. Their drama consumed those in their presence.
Since walking away from those friendships I feel freer.
Since walking away from those friendships I laugh more.
Since walking away from those friendships I find the good in my life.
I'm working hard to deal with another friendship at this point in life. I really don't want to walk away from this friendship, but I desperately want that total sense of freedom, laughter, and goodness.

Girl you are a SUSHI Girl now....you have no worries.... nothing but laughter!
ReplyDeleteI know what this is all about...I have done this to a few friendships that were sucking the life out of me. Since Wayne and I walked away from the Cunninghams... ooh what a relief!
This is very true. Thank you for being a friend.
