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.....
