what to do with fruit about to go bad

This week had some hard lessons.  I was needing others to validate something for me that wouldn't.  Some did, and I have some wonderful people in my life.  A lesson worth learning is that some people can't/won't will never be the person you want them to be.  Some people are in your life for a reason, a season, or a life time.  So far, the people that are in my life for a life time are my family and I love them so much.  My brother had a beautiful wedding, and he's really happy.  My mom is eternally optimistic though being tried and tried again.  Love you mommy.
Sometimes you see the relationships in your life and you realize they are not working, yet for the life of you, you dont know how to fix it.  You know that if they saw your side, they would understand, show love show compassion of course they will!  They are your friend.  Nothing bothers me more than when others can't see my side, because I do try to see others sides.  Sometimes you just can't win no matter what you do, and you feel the need to defend yourself.  I just realized that the urge to try and change others opinions or behavior self destructive or not, is futile.  To see that someone you've known for 25 years really secretly doesn't/never? really liked you is a blow, but I don't want to be a victim about it.  there have been signs all along, but I just tried to ignore or see past.  I just couldn't anymore, I had to say how I felt and now the "friendship" is over.  Even though it was already.
The fruit was going bad long ago...but instead of making a cobbler, I threw it against the wall and it's left a stain.  It hurts.
Today I made a cobbler with fruit going bad, and it turned out wonderful.  So this is my lesson today.
Plums
nectarines
blueberries
strawberries
peaches

put in a glass pan with some oil on bottom.  In fruit, add  cinnamon, earth balance butter, and agave, drizzles.

For the crisp on top:
1 cup oats
1 cup flour
1 cup sweets (brown sugar but I used maple syrup)
1/2 tsp baking soda
1/4 tsp salt
 1/2 tsp cinnamon
3 tbs soy milk/almond milk

hmmmm I think thats it, mix and pour on top bake at 350 for 45 minutes.  Yummmmmmm
Gratitude is key, love is key.  I'm not perfect, but I want to try and be better.
