I do agree that material possessions give me joy as well but at the end of the day, I need honest and genuine people in my circle of trust. If people make snide remarks and are haughty, it just means that they aren’t in that circle anymore(or never were in that circle). I have taken a long time to realize that but once I realized it, there is no looking back.RMhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15676931374057208571noreply@blogger.com
