Strange Days

So many bizarre things have been happening of late. Maybe it's true what people say: A change is coming. People, things, our environment, morphing into something different. I don't think I like it. It's not an easy-going, happy feeling. It's tense, like waiting for a tornado to hit, or being in the eye of it. My power trio family is doing well. We're all getting along and loving eachother. But others in my life have fallen by the wayside. After 17 years or so my best friend has made her final exit from my life, to my benefit I'm sure. I look back at the things that have happened and I get angry I let myself be used so often. I was knowingly used. I let it happen. I've wasted so much time. Family, love, helping who you can without taking from yourself, these are important things. Yes, giving of yourself without taking from yourself. Save the best for those who matter. Your children, your family. They are all you have or need. Keep them safe and let life do what it will, I guess. We are still under God's eye.
