Had a long chat with an acquaintance of mine today that is becoming a good friend. The older I get the harder it is to trust people enough to let them get close enough to be considered my friend. I can be their friend, people can tell me anything and I don't judge them or spread rumors or secrets. But I have been burned by too many people that I thought were my friends to trust anyone easily.  I do trust my best friend and my spouse, but that is about it as far as totally trusting anyone. That is one of the reasons I started this blog, I can tell you whatever I want to.  Anyways, today I found out that this new friend and I have so much in common! It was amazing to her and I both! For one thing, we had both been abused in numerous ways by our exs and moved far away from them. We also both have an animal that is special to us because God put it in our path when we left our exs and were becoming strong women.  We both love books and our jobs. I'm too tired to remember the other things we have in common. So Good Night all.....

I've been through so much in my life that I should write a book. What I haven't been through, I usually have known someone that has been through it.
I really miss my best friend, wish she didn't live so far away. We have been through so much together, sometimes it just helps to talk to each other. I probably should have bought a bottle of wine tonight, sounds good, but too late to drive up and get one now. I'd like to write alittle on here every night, but tonight, I just don't know what to write about. Too many things on my mind to concentrate on any one thing.

First Time

I suppose - like alot of other people who have start blogging, I thought about it off & on for quite awhile. Tonight, I decided, this is it, I'm starting one & seeing how it goes. I had no idea what to name it nor what name to use, because I keep alot of things private. I'm too afraid of being hurt more than I have already have been in my life. I'll get in to all that later, I'm sure. Lately I have been hearing so many rumors & lies - not just about myself & my immediate family, but about others too. And quite frankly - I AM SICK OF IT!!!! Why do people spread rumors? Why make up lies? You always get caught in lies. And all rumors do is hurt people & for what? Mostly because the person who starts it is jealous. Well, I say, be honest & good things will come to you, honesty really does pay. And as far as rumors, what comes around goes around. If you are so jealous of that person that you are starting a rumor about, change your own life instead of trying to ruin theirs!!!! Okay, I better stop for now or you will see my temper & that wouldn't be a good start to a new blog. LOL I really am one of the sweetest people anyone will ever know, but I can also be a real bitch too. It all depends on how I am treated.
