The End.

All things in life go through the cycle of birth, growth, death and rebirth. Sunrises, Sunsets. Spring, Summer, Winter, Fall. Even relationships go through this change. It's sad to let go of friends and loved ones when the time comes.

I feel a lot of relationships in my life right now are in the winter stage of the cycle. Friendships that I thought were once strong have weakened. The illusion of a strong foundation is now revealing itself to be weakened. Weakened by what? Time, nature, fate, destiny...or just plain old fashioned growing apart? I don't know...and it's not my place to question it. It just is.

These are the times we need to sit back and remember the memories and give thanks for the love and the blessing we received during the course of the relationship. If we hold onto it any longer, we run the risk of ruining it forever. We can't be hurt by it. I've been told many times in my life that when one door shuts, God opens multiple doors for us elsewhere. We just have to have the courage and the strength to go through the doors...that is our half of the agreement, my friends. I really believe this.

As I say goodbye to these friendships, I wish them all well and I send them all love from the very depths of my heart. Thank you for touching my life. Thank you for changing my life.
