I guess you're right.. I'm reading a book that is good, soon finished.. called "Energy thieves" by a Swedish author named Ingalill Roos. It made me really to think.. and sort out things inside of me.. :)Violahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16009522127792808077noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-25107798.post-718916402197432892013-05-02T13:00:10.067-07:002013-05-02T13:00:10.067-07:00You just had the wrong friends darlin'.

You described one of my friends perfectly (yep she was 'perfect') but I could see beyond all that to the beautiful person she is beneath all that she tried to portray. We are and always have been best friends to this day 30+ years later. Your art is so remarkable along with your stories.

I also have experienced such people who suck most of the life when they're here. too much of everything is bad. I've longed since changed and is changing. And I hang out with people who are not so like that. Kind people are more like it. :) Love your paintings btw!

My 18-yr old daughter and I were just talking about something similar--she'd had a terrible week and no one seemed to be making a big deal about it except her--we decided that if you're not getting the response you want/expect, there is one of two reasons: a) you have crummy friends, or b) you need to change your own behavior. She decided her answer was b. <br /><br />Love all the different color variations!Karen Smitheyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04584636153202712192noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-25107798.post-9255990939980715342013-04-30T06:14:02.254-07:002013-04-30T06:14:02.254-07:00what a great post...enjoyed it with my tea..your a...what a great post...enjoyed it with my tea..your art is amazing!Jane Wetzelhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17573583350805965083noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-25107798.post-65912518869382893242013-04-29T16:51:25.092-07:002013-04-29T16:51:25.092-07:00First of all, I just adore you!

I think with age (hopefully) comes an awareness about one's own character. I have worked on myself to become kinder and more tolerant.

You are never to much for me, though I know what you mean about the energy vampires. I did tend towards that myself when I was younger, and it took me a good while to kick myself out of it. But the face that you had so many friends and loved ones shows that they didn't really find you too much.<br />A thought provoking post, as always.Jezhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10793736166062711430noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-25107798.post-25346408249612845162013-04-28T05:40:30.386-07:002013-04-28T05:40:30.386-07:00fantastic painting!

Love the expression, what a great talent you have!!!<br /><br />I've lived through my share of energy vampires and managed to exorcise them from my life. My intention now, is to allow energy to flow through me instead of chasing after it (or chasing it away!). I'm definitely improving, although it's much more difficult than I ever imagined!!! We are our own worst enemies - lol!<br /><br />Cheers!ANNEhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09669855421350031273noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-25107798.post-80327702372525308972013-04-28T04:26:38.124-07:002013-04-28T04:26:38.124-07:00Love this!

I think we do many things unintentionally but what's good is that once you're aware of your flaw/s or impact your actions have on others, you're willing to make it better. And that's what you did. I applaud you because I know it's not easy to change your ways.Šolanje na domu-Waldorfhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18346455442739368553noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-25107798.post-24863197143684939312013-04-27T19:43:03.144-07:002013-04-27T19:43:03.144-07:00I always wait to read your posts until I have time...I always wait to read your posts until I have time to really digest what you are saying. I often go back and read and reread because your thoughts and questions make me think. Today was no exception. <br /><br />As a quiet person I don't believe I can be too much. Just the opposite - for a long time not enough. I have learned that if I truly believe in something I have a lot to say and I am no longer afraid to say it.<br /><br />Your portrait is beautiful. I do want to thank you for the comments you make on my posts each Friday.
