Sara B, someone close to me once said, " I don't hold grudges, I get even." That person did just that. You had better not cross him or else you would pay for it in one way or the other. I have found that harboring any type of emotion can give the person grief and a whole host of those around them. Very good work you have penned. Thanks for sharing this one with us. Sara K

I share similar thoughts, Sara K. Harboring grudges only results in striking out against another person.... so toxic. Thanks for stopping by, Sara B
