You Have To Be True To Yourself

About Me

stars layout powered by HOT FreeLayouts.com / MyHotCommentsWhat can I say? I am very simple, but at the same time quite complex. I love to laugh. People who make me laugh are awesome! A life without laughter would be intolerable to me. I love Diet Mountain Dew. I love meeting and socializing with different types of people. I respect all people and know that we are all different yet equal. I am not what I would like to be, but somehow I believe I am better than I think. I love to go to the beach and listen to the ocean. It's about the only time I feel a real connection to nature. I analyze almost everything internally. I like to people watch. I try not to give too much energy to the mistakes I have made. I chalk them up to being human...and just plain ol' stupid at times. You can't live in the past or the future. You have to live in the present using the lessons learned from the past to help better yourself for the future. I get irritated easily; although I am much better than I used to be. I am a HUGE procrastinator. I have learned that with age comes wisdom, but not for everyone. I have learned that we are not entitled to much besides respect, tolerance, and decency. None of us are perfect - whether we think we are or not. I love to express my opinion and I love a good debate. I am very headstrong. And, stubborn. Very few people really know what I am all about; the ones that do are very special to me. I love to blog, although I question whether I do a "good job" at it. I love learning about the human body and how it works. It fascinates me. Last, but certainly not least, I love my children more than life itself. Being a mother has been the easiest, most natural, and most rewarding "job" in my life while at the same time the toughest and most challenging.

My Interests

For a long time it had seemed to me that life was about to begin--real life. But there was always some obstacle in the way, something to be gotten through first, some unfinished business, time still to be served, a debt to be paid. Then life would begin. At last it dawned on me that these obstacles were my life.-- Alfred D. SouzaNorfolk, Virginia
