Everyone needs to better themselves

I understand the need and feeling that everyone needs and wants to better themselves, and they should do that if they so feel it will make them happier in life.  So why do I seem to want to hold them back just when they have come in my life and I don't want to say goodbye again?

Selfish reasons, just selfish on my part.  I need to be more supportive.  I need to encourage people to follow their dreams. 

I am a bad one to let go, unless of course, when I need to eliminate the "negatives" in my life, which I did that earlier this year and am not sorry at all for that and don't look back on that chapter in my life at all.  Much better off now then I was at the beginning of the year and I thank GOD for that! 

Here is the thing, every job you have, every path you have you will undoubtedly have struggles, it is inevitable.  I understand on many levels wanting more, needing more in different aspects of this thing called life we are all expected to endure day to day.  Don't get me wrong, I am glad to wake up on this side of the earth every day, though I might not always act like it or show my gratitude, I am grateful. 

I just need to let go and instead of not caring or acting like I dont care, I need to be more supportive.  We all know how it is when you dont work together anymore, you promise to always keep in touch, but how well does that really work?  Sure, it can work, making the effort from all parties involved.  But who really takes the time to do this?  Or has the energy? 

I miss some of my buddies that I spent side by side with for 8 years but when we were split up because of yet another layoff, we all had to scatter to different places. 

I know, more than some, life tends to get in the way of contact those who mean the most to you, but like some Hallmark cards say, you can go a long time without seeing a special person in your life, and when you get together sitting on a porch together not saying a word, you feel like you have just had the best connection and conversation when you go back home. 

Let me just say, if you want to keep in touch, text me!  If I don't rate that, ok, I will get the picture.  If you feel the need to strike out on your own and better yourself, more power to you!  Just dont forget us little people when you strike it rich!  :)

Thanks for dropping by, our visits warm my very soul!
