Welcome to the TPC Blog.<\/p>\n<p>This is my brothers&#8217; saying. He said you can talk about anything you want to people just know your audience.<\/p>\n<p>I&#8217;m thinking this applied to me in the last day or so.<\/p>\n<p>Did you ever trust someone and then they turn out to be someone that you don&#8217;t even want to be associated with or wouldn&#8217;t give the time of day if you knew the real them? That happened to me. I think what irks me more is that this person did it the whole time with a smile on their face? Probably what irks me the most if I really thought about it is that I didn&#8217;t see it and walked right into it.<\/p>\n<p>What makes people do this? I&#8217;m thinking in this instance that spirit wouldn&#8217;t let me see the real person otherwise I would throw a fit and come out swinging.<\/p>\n<p>I kind of feel stupid though that I even thought this person was my friend and the first chance they got they shoved the knife in.<\/p>\n<p>The peculiar part is that I think others are now standing in line with this person without thinking that they might be next. A leopard doesn&#8217;t change his spots.<\/p>\n<p>Onward and upward though as I always say. I will be careful though in the future who I trust. I have never been like that really. I just go along my way thinking everyone is my Pal and they are brought onto my path for a reason. I guess the lesson here is to always keep your boundaries protected.<\/p>\n<p>I&#8217;m not one to hold onto things so this is a good exercise to get it out in a blog and let go. I&#8217;m sure the universe has a plan for me (and them) and I&#8217;m sure it included the last few days. There&#8217;s a lesson there somewhere.  Hopefully a few good healings and the knife will be nudged out of my back and healed all up and tougher so that it can&#8217;t happen again.<\/p>\n<p>A quote to share:<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;Though those that are betrayed Do feel the treason sharply, yet the traitor Stands in worse case of woe.&#8221;<br \/>\n&#8211; William Shakespeare<\/p>\n<p>Sometimes there&#8217;s nothing like a blog to get something off your chest.<\/p>\n<p>Until we meet again, Sharon<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Hello everyone.
