There comes a time in life, when you walk away from all the drama and people who create it. You surround yourself with people who make you laugh, forget the bad, and focus on the good. So, love the people who treat you right. Think good thoughts for the ones who don't. Life is too short to be anything but happy. Falling down is part of LIFE...Getting back up is LIVING...

So true...I totally agree. Just wish I had learned it sooner in life. It's amazing how much better life is then you stop fighting and struggling about the relationships that just don't seem to be working. Sometimes we have to "push" a little, but other times we just need to learn to let go and let things be.

Thank you for reminding me!

That is sooooo true and it took me a while to learn it!! But life is so much better!!

Thanks for your reminder!!

Thank you thank you thank you!

You put in wonderful words what I have been feeling!!! This is a great lesson to learn!!

Funny thing...I knew this once...yet needed to be reminded. Thank You.

Well said!

Absolutely!!!! I don't do drama.

It never hurts to be reminded of this :D:D:D

Well stated.

Have read this B4 and it is posted on my computer desk. I love those words

Me too ;)

Remember, this also (sadly) can apply to family, as well.

How wonderful you feel when that burden is lifted. Thanks for reminding us.

You are so right! It took me a long time to finally figure this out, but life has been peaceful, happy and fulfilling ever since!

I am soooo not into drama!! A waste of energy!! :D:D
Thanks for the nice post!

You hit the nail on the head. thanks for reminding me.

Wise words. :thumbup:

Yeah, but what to do when you can't seem to get away from it at work. You mind your own business, and it (they) won't leave you alone.

Well said and I would add to that what my late son-in-law always said...."Slow Down and remember what is really important."

So true...through tough times, you find out who your real friends are.

Many times I have printed out "The Law of the Garbage Truck" http://davidjpollay.typepad.com/davi...bagetruck.html

AMEN! It took me awhile to learn this,wish I wouldv'e lived it more when my daughter was young,because I see her going through the same stuff I did,now I'm just trying to tell her and living the exsample.

yes so true!

It is sad to let that relationship go but you know it is the right thing to do.... life is just too short to have all that drama in there when it isn't needed... I know at times I am sad about it but my life in a whole is just so much MORE, that you can't really miss is.......

"friends are the family you choose" "girlfriends are the sisters god forgot to give you"

with the majority of my family of origin, those two quotes have saved my sanity more than once or twice.

My grandmother used to say "too soon old and too late smart."Thanks for reminding us what is important.

Thank you! Having a rough time right now!

Ames. Thank you for sharing such a powerful statement. It came at a very good time.

I think we all need this reminder from time to time. It took me a very long time to get this figured out, but when I did, I decided that high maintenance friendships, and I had one at the time, just were not worth the time, patience and energy. What a breath of fresh air!

I did that at 45 and never regretted it.

Well said.

thanks i just love that

Love it !! I am going to print this on velum and put it on my wall so everyone sees it when they walk in. Never so truer as to have NO drama in one's life and live serenely !!

Very good advice!

You are very wise. I really need to see that in print! Patty

AMEN..life is waaaaay too short for all the nonsense.

Amen!

Good advice, and it sometimes means you have fewer friends, but better relationships.

Well said!! Thanks for this post!!
