Just Being Me

I keep wondering when it is that I will get the message that you don't have to be perfect to have your life matter.  

When I will stop saying, "yeah, I like my paintings, but what if someone else doesn't?"

"Yeah, I like my photos, but what if someone else doesn't?"

"Yeah, I like my writing, but what if someone else doesn't?"

Sigh.

I search and search other people's blogs, and the thing I like the most is when someone shows me their true self.  That is what I find the most magical.  

I look for others to share their true self, and I think what I am actually searching for is the courage to share my true self.

I want the courage just to be me.

How simple is that?

And yet, how hard is that?

So, once again I am saying

"I AM HERE!!"

And you know what?

That makes me very happy.  

I truly love being here, in Blogland.

I so miss being here.

I love writing here.

Besides, if I don't write here, then when I finally write to my out-of-state cousin I end up "talking" her ear off with all I have left unsaid.  I need to give her a break.  So I will write here instead.

So, Hello again, Blogland!

I will be here once again,

just being me.

Love to all,

Carol B.
