Maybe because it is the New Year I have been thinking a lot lately
about the people in my life and whether I would classify some of them as a “person
of substance”. I’m not saying that
everyone in my life should be “a person of substance”. There are many different kinds of
relationships. However time is very precious and I don’t want
to devote a great deal of time or energy to people who do not have “substance”. I became very bitter about friendships during
my husband’s terminal illness and after he died. (I write about those
experiences in my book.) I don’t want to
repeat those experiences.
What does it mean to be a “person of substance”
The first question is
“Are you a person that important people in your life can count on when they
really need something especially when “helping” is not an easy or convenient thing
for you to do?
