- Avoid the friend. Time and distance seem to be the best remedy.
- In the time between the time and distance settling in, make every effort to be otherwise occupied, thus preventing self-pity.

I'll have to share that story sometime.. Not sure when or where, but I bet I can weave it into my other story somehow. Has to do with 'completing tasks.' I got what I wanted. I was kind of a jerk.
But it was fun. (don't tell anyone)
Naturally I am interested in that story.
ReplyDeleteI laughed when I read this post- not because I am being disrespectful, but because I, too, reacenly wrote a list very similar to this. Are you SURE you are not part of my mind?? :)
