There Comes A Time

DOWN HOME with Granny B
One of the advantages of growing older is that sooner or later you learn.  You can learn the hard way or the easy way.  I usually learn the hard way.

I spent way too much of my life maintaining destructive relationships.
 That's why I so love this quote I found posted by a friend on face book today.  She didn't mention who wrote it . . . but who ever it was . . . thank you.

"There comes a time in your life when you walk away from all the drama and people who create it.  You surround yourself with people who make you laugh. 
Forget the bad, and focus on the good. 
Love people who treat you right, pray for the ones who don't. 
Life is too short to be anything but happy. 
Falling down is a part of life . . . getting back up is living."

So true, and thanks for sharing. Friendships need to be nurtured and loved and reciprocal. We know the friends who love us for who we are and what we mean to them. If one has to work hard at trying to keep a friendship growing, then it probably is a weed. Friendships should be easy, and if we haven't seen a friend in years and then see them again and pick up where we left off, that is a true friendship.
