The quote that I chose for this week is by Hubert H. Humphrey.
I don’t have a ton of friends, and I am okay with that. As I have gotten older and I have learned that I would rather have no friends than have people in my life that only care about themselves. I know when I was younger I was always worried about the number of friends I had. The older I have gotten, the more I realize that I would rather have no friends than deal with people who aren’t real friends. I no longer care or have the patience for people in my life who aren’t honest and sincere. I have cut out the majority of negative people out of my life because I don’t have the energy to deal with them anymore. Those are just a few of my thoughts on this quote.

I chose a quote by Ralph Waldo Emerson for this week’s quote.
I loved this quote the minute that I read it because it is something that I believe in one hundred percent. I don’t have a ton of friends and that is because I am at the point where I won’t deal with the crap that people can bring into my life. My family so much drama that I don’t want to have friends that have drama because I don’t have the patience to deal with anything else. So the only friends that I really have are family or a couple of other people. I am a much different person around them than I am around people I work with because you don’t have to be professional around people you grew up with or have been friends with for years. Those are just a few of my thoughts on this quote. What do you think???

I love this quote, and I can’t really say why I like it as much as I do. This quote is something that people need to hear because I know if people lived by this quote than there would be a lot less killing. I am going to try and love everyone so that I can be a better person. I also like the idea of putting more love in the world and not focusing on all the horrible things that are going on. Those are just a few of my thoughts on this quote.
What do you think of this week’s quote by Martin Luther King, Jr?
I really love this quote because I have had several friends who didn’t want to be around me because of the person I was becoming at the time. I have changed quite a bit over the past ten years and there are people who haven’t changed at all in all of those years. Most of them have stopped talk to me which made it easy to just move on. I still do think about some of them and wonder what they are up too but I know it is for the best.
What do you this of this week’s quote by Alice Walker?
If you missed yesterday’s post, you would know that on the 29th of January I had to put down Alley Cat. She has been sick for the past couple of years and if you want to know more about that you can click here to go and read that post. I have to know for years that at some point I would have to say goodbye to her, and I knew it would be hard, but I was in no way prepared for how hard it was.
Because of how people acted towards her at the end of her life I refused to let anyone else come with me. It was just her and I and now knowing how it all would turn out I think I made the right choice. They had to give her 3 or 4 shots because she pulled out her first IV, so it didn’t work. Let’s just say that there was nothing humane about the process.
It was supposed to take a few minutes to work, and it took over 30 minutes to finally take effect. I sit here now thinking about it all and I can’t help but smile because her whole life she had to fight to stay alive and she gave them a damn good fight at the end. I wish it would have worked right away, but it wouldn’t have been Alley Cat if she gave in easy. I know she was sick, and it was the right thing to do, but I feel like I failed her because there is no way that it was painless, and it wasn’t short like they claimed it would be. I am now left wondering how much she felt and what her last moments were truly like.
The real reason I wanted to talk about this today is that it brought back so many of the emotions I felt when I placed my daughter for adoption, and I wasn’t prepared for that. I have always said the Alley was my “replacement” baby so instead of getting pregnant shortly after placing my daughter for adoption I went and adopted Alley. I feel like I just placed my daughter a few days ago, and that is one thing I never wanted to feel again. It is hard to be brought back right to place I was at 10+ years ago because at this point I would have thought that there was no way I could feel these emotions as strongly as I did then and yet here we are.
In the end, I hope that I don’t have to feel like this for too long because it truly sucks. I know I will survive this because if I could get through it the first time than I know for sure, I will get through it this time as well. I will just keep putting one foot in front of the other one and keep going. I know that it will pass, and I will have good days and bad days but in time, the good days will start to outnumber the bad days. I will never forget her or my daughter but as time passes you do think of them less and less.
