Yeah...separating the wheat from the chaff when it comes to friendships. I pick people who are supportive, loyal, and nourishing. If they don't meet these basic criteria, they're reduced to being outside in the outer circle in the acquaintance status or a nobody.
At my age, I feel more freer to do things on MY own terms. Less complicated life. Makes for a much more peaceful life, no?
I wrote something very similar on MB's thread yesterday. When we know who we are and claim our place in the world, the chaff does just fall away.

Let me give up the need to know why things happen as they do. I will never know and constant wondering is constant suffering. Caroline Myss
