Talk about getting blind sided! You’re walking along, doing your best to stop and smell the roses or icicles, depending on which part of the country you’re in, while the economy goes down the disposal and all of a sudden people you though were close to you start betraying your trust and confidence in them. The most frustrating part of this is that it is not direct. It comes at your through hearsay, third parties, veiled innuendo. It reminds me of that line from The Pet Shop Boys/Dusty Springfield song, “What did I do to deserve this?” Well, since friends and relationships are so important to you, view this as an opportunity to weed out those noxious types that take up more space than they give, are prickly to the touch and should have been uprooted long ago. Just make sure you get your info right. Take out a spade, dig around and then don’t stop digging until the taproot is fully dislodged from your personal Earth.
