Life lessons

I lost a friends Sunday. No, she didn’t die, but she cancelled me from her life. We have been friends for a number of years, with a shared passion for gardening and art. In fact I always said when I grow up I want to be like her. We have always known that we have differing views on politics, faith and life, but I can say I valued the person more than some of their thoughts. That “agree to disagree agreeably” philosophy has echoed through my soul since childhood. But maybe that is the issue. In this age of hiding behind social media it is often easier to make snap judgement of not wanting to deal with disagreement no matter where it is coming from. Its not like a time when you talked things out or tried to understand their perspective. We don’t do that often any more, and it is a shame.
