Do you have times where you just feel like an afterthought to important people in your life?

Well yes, but I also recognize people get sooo busy with all that goes on in life, also that many distractions seems to pop up ~ sometimes I wonder on the possible reasons for those distractions. Keep in mind, most people mean well, even if they are too caught up in their own lives.

see this as a wonderful opportunity, to go on a vast trek; for there's maybe a bigger reasoning happening. You know, for me, I've discovered another neat part of all of this; I wonder if we're not being called to start a new adventure, to set our sails on ready, set, go... when those we love aren't available rather than stay blue, glum, hostile don't let the root of bitterness have any earth in us ~ leave the leaves of all that behind; go forth and begin to dance.... realizing you may have received a Royal Invitation to take to the Ball... Come with enthusiastic cheer, with loving attitudes, carefree and full of delight... and dance a new dance with those who dew! In what appears to be death, life rises from the ashes!
