      I know the feeling well I just had a dinner party people hadn't seen in 4 years 3 years 2 years dot-dot-dot all they did was complain about the distance how far out I live in the suburbs blah blah blah. I'll put them three other kinds of liquor and spirits and me and they want to come in the kitchen and look and see that I'm drinking Hennessy and Coke sweetie that wasn't what I offered you. Everybody had a gift soon as they walked in the door three different items in each give bag free food free drinks free liquor rewind free Spades free heat for that day was hot soufriere and then you have the nerve to still come in somebody house complaining and looking focus on the head and acting crazy it doesn't make sense. But you know what never again. PS everybody was late I'm not talkin 10 minutes 15 minutes I'm talking about 50 minutes to up to 2 hours late okay. And all of them know when I say the food is going to be ready by 2 my food is already ready the only thing that probably is not going to be ready is the cornbread everything else is ready. I had to go back and rewarm the food and everything. Never again baby not in 2019 and Beyond. Imma get me some new friends...

Still love people but I expend my strength on homeless children and others who need and appreciate the help. No guilt feelings about it either.once I made up my mind to go in another direction, I was freed even from bad feelings of hurt and resentment against my family. Free to love everybody now.

When you go to someone’s home, even if you can’t afford to bring an expensive bottle of wine or champagne, bring the host a personal gift. A candle, a mug, a Starbucks gift card. something that you know they like. These acts of kindness go a long way.

    Rickey Smiley!!!! I love you!!!! When I tell you I am at my desk right now bout to holler!!! I know exactly how you feel!!! Thanksgiving and Christmas I would cook majority of the meal with dessert and when I tell you I get nothing but attitude and looks from immediate family!!! I would invite the them to my house for the fourth of July and I would do all the cooking and they wouldn't need to bring anything! Oh they ate up the food, damn near didn't think to leave anything for me and my son. They barley speak, acting crazy, and have so much to say about me and mines. So guess what, now I make my 6 or 7 pecan pies, pack my son and I clothes and go to Thomasville, Ga and spend almost all the holidays with my grandmother, aunts, uncles, and cousins. And we have a ball!!! So i know exactly what that kind of treatment is all about. I have learned to go where I am appreciated. Glad to know my mentality ain't wrong. God bless😁😁
