I admit I wanted to let you all know that I have found some lovely, real, and kind friends here... people I never would have met otherwise. I am grateful for those who have become like family to me. There are times when we must leave the nest, stretch our wings and fly. My time is coming soon... I admit there are no untold backstories, drama, or anything untoward... it's just getting to be time for me to take the next leg of my journey. I admit that during my years here, I hope that I have brought some laughter, some smiles, some snorts, some thought-provoking moments, and some heartfelt love from my way, as I have surely received it from many of you. I admit that I hope I have showed that there can be a rainbow in the midst of the most horrible of storms, healing in the midst of great pain, love in the midst of great heartache, and forgiveness for the people who have harmed us the most. I hope that somewhere along the line you have known that I am a woman who believes strongly in my Christian faith, and that God can surely carry you when you can no longer take another step. I admit I am leaving you all much, much love. Be kind and good to one another, tell the people you love that you love them, be nicer than you need to be, and don't carry grudges or hard hearts... they weigh you down. Forgiveness never means that you are weak, it simply means that you are smart enough to know that people make mistakes, some very large. If someone apologizes, accept it, it costs you nothing but healing a broken part of you. I admit that I am trying to leave a bit of wisdom for those who may need a reminder that the world really can be a good place, even when the people in it act terribly, wage wars against one another, etc. Be the change that you want to see... Love, Red
