  • I Believe.........


    TALES FROM THE BRAT FARM

    I Believe...

    That just because two people argue,
    doesn't mean they don't love each other.
    And just because they don't argue,
    doesn't mean they do love each other.

    I Believe...
    That we don't have to change friends if
    we understand that friends change.

    I Believe....
    That no matter how good a friend is,
    they're going to hurt you every once in a while
    and you must forgive them for that.

    I Believe...
    That true friendship continues to grow, even over the longest distance.
    Same goes for true love.

    I Believe....
    That you can do something in an instant
    that will give you heartache for life.

    I wish I could take credit for those words but I do believe them to be true.  I have no idea who put them together but, if you read them carefully, you can understand the truth of it.  I also believe in Karma.  What goes around comes around.  Your petty actions or the actions of another have a way of biting you in the ass down the line.

    I remember an event in MY life where a woman I worked with did some pretty nasty and underhanded things trying to undermine me just because she thought we were both after the same position that was open in the company I worked for.  When it came to light, I remember the look on her face when she found out that my intentions were in a totally different direction and everyone else knew that except HER, I guess.  But she could have done some serious damage to my reputation at work if I hadn't been aware of what was going on.  I said to her, in front of several people, *Woman (fictitious name), I don't know if you believe in Karma, but *I* do.  And one day it will find you and you will find out that what goes around, comes around.*  I left it at that.  But, I prayed about it.  It was so mean and petty what she had been doing.  I said to God, *Lord, I don't ask that *I* am the one that teaches her a lesson, but PLEASE, let me be there to see it!*

    I wasn't there, unfortunately since God does things in his own way, but I sure did hear about it from friends and acquaintances.   I just laughed and it reaffirmed Karma to me.  So, think twice or even three times before you say anything derogatory about anyone...even if true.  You just never know how it may come back to burn you down the line.  And, be sure that you do nothing but show love for those you care about.  Forgive them for the things they do that were said or done in the heat of the moment.  Put it behind you and go on with loving them.  Just understand that we are all human and subject to all the frailties that implies.

    Love you all and see you tomorrow.
