I was just been sitting here reflecting on life's lessons.

A year ago I prayed for a support system and now I have one. It's my new neighbors. They're an odd lot but they are honest and trustworthy as far as I can see.

I've also learned how much of my business is worth telling and how much I should keep to myself. No one really wants to know it any way and those that do are only interested in watching someone else's pain. They're drama driven.

Nothing's changed at the Betterway House. They drama is still there. Learned on Thursday that William and Elaine are back together. I knew that their separation wouldn't last long. He's got her hook, line and sinker. Tried telling Mac that when he came down on me about her last summer. It's a sickness. I'm blessed to have cut the ties that bound Joey and me.

Not sure why some friendships have held true while others have bit the dust. It really doesn't make sense. But somehow I think things have turned out as they were supposed to. I have very few regrets. My definition of friendship has changed tremendously. I used to think I had to earn it. Now I know that love is freely given.
