REVENGE IS NOT SWEET

Good Morning!  It's Thursday.  Day after graduation for my twins.  High school is now officially done along with everything else.  Football, track, prom, their entire suburban school experience before they are off and running to their new adventure which will be college.  Very exciting for them and for me.  I am so happy that they will be where they are meant to and if they don't change the world, that's O.K. as long as they change themselves.

Leaving high school is also a time to leave friendships.  When we have our high school friends we think we will be friends forever.  In some cases that's true but in most, we move on.  We simply don't have as much in common with the ones we grew up with and seem to bond more with the ones we are with day to day everyday.   Some of our friendships in high school were tough and it is then important to leave them behind.  They will leave much behind - past hurts as well. 

High school friendships can be difficult as you are growing in a different way but you have to let go of past hurts and move on.  Today's quote, "If someone hurts you in the past - don't make a plan to hurt them in the future."  Why would anyone do that?  Revenge is not sweet.  Not at all.  Revenge keeps the pain going, revenge does nothing but keep that pain fresh in your mind.  Again, why would anyone want to continue and carry that with them.  All it does is keep it going. 

If someone hurts you in the past, try your best to understand and why it happened.  People will hurt you over and over again.  Of course not everyone you meet but things happen.  Is the hurt accidental or intentional?  Big difference there and only you will know.  If you can let it go then let it go but never ever plot your big revenge.  The only one who will truly suffer will be you.  Wishing you all a wonderful and peaceful Thursday! ~Love, Amy
