    Very true, I'm trying to stay on the sweet side of it, for those who bailed, I'm so grateful for those who didn't waver. I am blessed to have some ride or die folks in my life!

    Stop spending time with the wrong people.     – Life is too short to spend time with people who suck the happiness out of you. If someone wants you in their life, they’ll make room for you. You shouldn’t have to fight for a spot. Never, ever insist yourself to someone who continuously overlooks your worth. And remember, it’s not the people that stand by your side when you’re at your best, but the ones who stand beside you when you’re at your worst that are your true friends.

    Every once in a while I will look at the posts that occurred, say, 100 pages ago. So I found this that I missed before.

    Very cool, Jo
