Dear Friends...

When two dear friends have a tangle with each other, it can be quite unnerving for them and for uninvolved observers. I rarely, if ever interfere in the affairs of others. These things need to work themselves out (or not, depending on the situation). But that's not to say that I won't express an oninion or two on the matter...


Pickle and Bacon - you are both extremely strong-willed individuals. Neither one is afraid to say what you think or feel. I'd like to believe that those are among the qualities that brought you two together in the first place. There are times when we all say things that we regret. I understand that it's one thing to forgive and another to forget...and in fact, forgetting may not be possible. But it isn't really neccessary - forgiving another for things that were said or done is all we need to do. Accepting one another, warts and all, is what true friendship is about.

Disagreements happen all the time, but good relationships CAN endure. I'd like to think that yours WILL.

No Way Out...

How many of us are aware of the effects of karma? Yeah, I know that word usually conjures negative thoughts; "Man, karma's a bitch, ain't it?" While that sentiment is all too true, there are other positive aspects to it as well. The truly good and selfless acts that we perform on a daily basis are rewarded by the universe, just as surely as the heartless actions of evil that we witness are punished through karmic retribution. Even if we don't see it immediately, good attracts good and evil attracts evil. The key to seeing the truth of this concept in action is patience. The way to win over your enemies is to simply outlive them. They will eventually have to pay the piper. Remember, "Time wounds all Heels"!
