didn't we have this conversation before? deja vu? so which one of us was right? I can't remember......I think we both were?
yes I think we did have this conversation before. It a topic that just doesn't get old. It has been always been something that I struggle with because I can hold on to a grudge for way too long. I read something on another blog that said that holding a grudge is like taking poison in hopes of killing the person that wronged you. So true.
