One thing I have learned through all of this is not to hold a grudge. If I did, I would be in big trouble. I'd be bitter...lol!
Seriously, though, I want people to think about what they are going through (which is difficult in an emotional time). Decisions made in crisis (and an LBS is in crisis every bit as much or even more so that a person in MLC) are typically not well done. Believe me, I know. On the other hand, I also know that any story you want to make up can be validated by this book, that book, some post, a newspaper article, whatever you want. want to know one of my statistics. 12% of divorced people eventually remarry each other (I read it...in a book). Back in the day, it was hope. Now, it is a number. It is meaningless (to me). Why? Because if I was one of the 12%, my approach to life should have been no different than if I was one of the 88%. Now, this is opinion. I truly believe becoming the best we can be is the best way to live one's life. But, of course, I am still becoming and always will.
And if I may, a few years ago, I had a plan. Everyone told me...sounds like a good plan. One person told me I was nuts. Guess who was right. The one who told me I was full of ****. I know full of ****. I got better. And that is why we are having this discussion now.
