Ha, I like how you think! And yes, friendships changed/shifted/fell away but your spin is great: It freed you up…(to do other things, or new things, or deepen relationships you’re planning to keep).

Because I am not going out and meeting up with friends all the time, it’s allowed me to create a deeper bond with my dog. It allowed me to plan and plant and tend a garden. It allows me to be more present and less distracted with whatever I’m doing, or who I’m doing it with.

Out of the mud, new blossoms grow. ❤
