Yes – I can honestly say that moving through the phases of grief definitely ARE in direct correlation to the length of time trust was shared. I see so clearly now the manipulation and lying that should have been so evident before. Hindsight is always 20/20.

From now on, any disconnect between what someone says, and what they do, will be clearly noted and I will assume their actions reflect who they REALLY are. And I won't waste another minute on someone who is clearly empty inside.

So much accomplished this weekend – am truly looking forward to my trip to Baltimore and then next weekend!

EDIT – I also found my old ATM/Debit Visa card – in the washer after doing a load of laundry! At least my new replacement card came yesterday – no pin yet but I can use it as a credit card for my trip to Baltimore.

NOTE TO SELF – stop putting your ATM/Debit card in your jeans pocket when you fill up the car!!!

Sheesh……..
