I would hope . . .

On several occasions, and in different settings, I have found myself making bold declarations about the state of relationships/friendships betwixt several humans I know. I suspect that my ability to coin an opinion, and my rapidly growing silver back is the reason I find myself privy to the inner workings of the relationships of others.

I find myself saying things like "you are owed an apology, and really the friendship won't be mended unless she comes to you with an apology" or "unless he changes his behavior, you don't owe him forgiveness."

Whenever I find myself saying these things, I can't help but wonder if I've apologised when I owed it? or if I've changed sufficiently to deserve forgiveness? Do I own my own behavior? Do I make amends to the people I love? I hope so.

You always have with me.....and I appreciate it.

I'm feeling much better now that I've pretty much decided to leave it all alone.

"You love them, you love them not...the birds of prey that wreck your nest...twice your size....still your best..."

That song is not about him....it's about me.
