This was a good year, despite the hiccups and unexpected twists and turns; indeed I can check off 2023 as A ok!

People exposed themselves and let me know who they’re really loyal to. It was hard to handle at first but when I took away my emotion’s lens and viewed them through my rational lens; I realized I’d known all along who these people have been.

Now I know just how to handle or not handle them both

Now I know when to step in and when to walk away

Now I know when to care and when to ignore

Now I know when to give my powerful energy and when to withhold it

Now I know when to listen and when to turn a deaf ear

Now I know when to respond and when to remain quiet

Now I know when to lend support and when to remain detached and aloof

Now I know when to share and when to keep things to myself

Now I know for certain to always FORGIVE and at times, DON’T FORGET!

Now I know when to say hello and when to say, good- bye…NOT see you later… GOOD-BYE!
