Lifetime Friendships

I believe lifetime friendships are possible. My friend Lana Slotterback and I have been friends since I was 9. Almost 25 years later, I am still friends with her. She loves me and accepts me for who I am and I am of like mind with her. True friendships are possible if the other person can accept someone with all their faults and idiosyncracies and still like that person. My Aunt Eileen once told me that me and my brothers were some of the nicest, most unspoiled, most unindulged children she knew and as a result she said that none of us had arrogance. I love my boss, Joe, he is a wonderful man. He's also cool. He rides a Suzuki motorcycle and wears leather riding gear. The people that know me best are the ones who grew up with me and know my temper, know my family and know my friends. My brother showed me a quote yesterday it goes: "Anonymous is here. Anonymous is not your friend." So, so true. I post only positive or middling comments and nothing negative. Negative posts get read and rejected. I am a child of God and I don't need negativity in my life. I don't need negative people slamming my God-centered soul in my quest to become more positive. To my detractors I say this: You only knew me for 4 months, you have not known me your whole life. Before you slander me or criticize, look at yourself and ask am I perfect or do I have faults too? After all, Let he who is without sin cast the first stone. I cast no stones at you and Him could be anyone of the many exes I have. Up and to including my ex-husband. So don't assume--after all you know what they say about assuming. Friends forgive and move on. I forgive my detractors and pray that you find happiness in your lives.
