A few years back, I lent a “friend” a hundred bucks for groceries, as she was having a tough time.

I never in a million years, would have guessed she’d sell out our friendship over a hundred bucks, but she did.

A hundred dollars buys something like three or four sacks of groceries today, so a little perspective might be a good thing here.

You might be amazed at how liberating it is to simply shift your consideration of that loan in your own mind, and decide that it was a gift to a friend in dire need. Just turn it around completely and let the ill will go.

You might also get a friend back if you communicate that to her. Who knows...one day, she may be the one person who moves heaven and earth to help you.

It was NOT the money, nor does it matter how much or little 100 dollars will buy.

The fact that she snubbed me, refuse to return my calls and simply did not say to me “I am sorry, I can’t pay you back.”
That I would understand.
Treating me like dirt, I cannot.
I let it go long ago.
It was simply brought up as a lesson in money lending.
