Broken Circles

It's been a rough few weeks with breaking friendships all around me. 2 very important circles of different friends in my life have been broken, altered and finished. It pains me to watch these friendships deteriorate and crumble. It's hard to stay neutral when I love all those around me and watch them turn on one another. It's amazing how torn I feel and how stressed its been. I now have a new "boss" whom I've loved for 10 years and watched her grow up and helped in her training to become the amazing hair dresser she is today. But where there is a new boss means the other is gone and I've loved her for 18 years. A co worker died suddenly and the salon is now missing 2 very important people. My horses have lost pasture mates and I've lost riding buddies. I know that when one door closes another always opens. But there have been alot of closing doors around me that I've had no control over whatsoever. I hope that there are plenty more doors to open. My heart goes out to all my friends who are hurting and I wish there was more I could do to "fix" what is going on around me. But I know that isn't possible, so I sit back and encourage where I can and be a shoulder for those who need one to cry on.
