You just never know what life is going to throw at you, or who’s going to shoot you in the foot (or stab you in the back).
But I have always had a motto – “No one can do to you what you don’t let them do“.
Think about that.  I sure have lately.

But here’s another motto I go by – “You reap what you sow” – the Bible.
And that gives me peace that would otherwise elude me at times like this.
