Happenings
Lately the weather has been at times hot and humid but then again rainy and gray. Sometimes rainy days make me want to curl up around a really good book but some rainy days just make you kind of sad. It's hard to be happy all the time. I've had a number of friends lose their parents. Do you know how lucky you are to still have yours, granted that you had good parents? I know some of you have not. Not all children are fortunate that way. I was fortunate however there are always people that will cross your path that will try to take advantage of you. Build up good boundaries because you are going to need them. You will meet people in life that will be inappropriate with you. You have to let them know where you stand. You have to stand up for yourself because if you don't, it's not guaranteed that anyone else will. Abuse can be physical but many times is mental. And mental abuse can take a lot longer to heal than physical abuse. Forgive is to forgive and you have to do it for yourself but you don't have to reconcile. You can just let go of those that hurt you so that you don't harbor grudges but you don't have to remain friends with people who don't respect your boundaries.
