Blogging is cheaper than therapy and easier on your friend's ears. It provides an outlet for your feelings and thoughts that are sometimes ill-received if said out loud, mainly because some people are not good listeners! Not a venting session, not a complaints department, but a place where it's okay to have real feelings and express them. A place to say them where it's not met with a disapproving look or some canned response from some people who think you have to be correct all the time! People complain that you're honest and people complain that you're not being open. Can't make them happy, can we? Good thing it's not our job to keep people happy!
It is our "job" to be encouraging, helpful, and to build them up. (sometimes a pleasure, sometimes a job if you're honest)
Well, we all have a "tee shirt" saying, and today mine would read like this:
"PLEASE BE PATIENT. GOD ISN'T FINISHED WITH ME YET!"
If only we could wear our "tee shirts" every day, so people know what to expect when we're around them!
"Make me feel good. I feel like crud today."
"My pet is sick. Please be compassionate with me."
"I feel fat. Please don't talk about bathing suits today."
"Don't ask me to bring a dish to pass. I'm short on cash."
"Hello. I'm standing right here. Talk about your party somewhere else"
"Don't ask me any more questions about so and so. It's none of OUR business"
"You you you. I wanna talk about me!" (I guess that's Toby Keith's shirt)
"Ask me why I'm joyful even when life is hard."
"Chocolate should be an IV drip."
"Hello? Hello? Wow. I AM invisible."
And so on...what would YOUR shirt say on any given day??

My shirt today:
"A friend is someone who thinks you're a good egg even though you're slightly cracked."
Gotta comment on my OWN posts now....geez!
