Holding Grudges

Over the holiday season, my sister told me that she reached out to her husbands old friends wife to see how they were doing and to get his hold friends phone number.  My sister had said that her husband had been talking about the good 'ol days and really missed his friend.  She later told me that he had contacted his old friend for New Years.  They talked about their lives and how they missed each other.

I think that we all experience similar situations that often, we do not recall why we don't talk to certain people anymore and why the friendship went sour.  I also think that too often we hold unnecessary grudges.  Are these old relationships really having any impact on our current lives?  Maybe not, but I do think that we may carry a little excess baggage from past relationships that we need to let go of.  Why not shoot them a message and let them know you were thinking of them?  There is no need to do this with every relationship you've had with friends that may not have worked out, but there were those few gems for sure.

Life is too short to hold grudges, let things go and move on in the way that works best for you.
