I am Humbled.


I have learned many lessons the past few days.

Chad was right.   I love my friends I've met through blogging.

You inspire me.

A family member also gave me some wise counsel -- telling me that " Making huge decisions " while grieving..major stressing or PMS-ing is not a good idea. 

They were right.

Noted.

I can't promise that my blog will never be private.. but if it happens one day.. you know my e-mail.

For now.. I am going to keep on writing in the open for everyone to see .... and pretending on many hard days-- like I am writing for no one to read.. and keeping it real.  For me.  For my Posterity.

Even if it's freaky. 

And sad.

Or extra happy.

And Extremely Passionate.

Because you know how passionate I get over things.

***************

Thank you to all of you -- my friends and/or lurky/readers... whom commented.. and sent me e-mails.

I laughed, cried and felt as though I received a big "hug" through the Internet from you.

It was good for me to listen to you-- and very sad for me to realize that many of you feel the same way I do at times. 

I felt a lot of guilt reading many of your e-mails.

We all have struggles.. trials.. and feel alone and pitiful sometimes. 

I was selfish. 

I am grateful to those of you that pointed out all of the things that I would lose -- going private.

I am grateful to those of you who reminded me of "promises I made" to post about Organizing.

But most of all.. I am just grateful that someone in the world cares about my little blog spot.

Thanks for reading my daily Thoughts, Loves, Happenings and Trials.

Today I am Grateful for:

Lunch with Chad, Brian and Suzie at Texas Roadhouse
State Tax Return in the Bank
Stake Conference
Life after Death
Friendship  All over the World.

I love you Ann, and I love your blog <3

It is because of you that I started a blog. Because of your example I can now look back on my blog and see so many things I would have forgotten about if I had never wrote them down.

I wish we all had happy perfect lives....but unfortunately none of us do. It's great to read your blog and see that I am not the only one struggling....it makes me feel NORMAL.

Thank you for always keeping an honest / real blog. I think that is why so many people love you <3 You don't hide much, and we have grown to love you and the amazing mother, wife, sister, daughter and friend that you are.

I love you so much.

Thank you for being such a great friend over the years.

((HUGS))

I had to go read a few posts back to "get" this one. I can't imagine you NOT being "out there". I feel so richly blessed because of your ability to blog your gratitude and willingness to share.

I just love YOU. The real you.

Don't change.

I haven't commented as much as I'd like to lately because of lack of time, but I want you to know that I do pop by and quickly read sometimes, and I think of you often! ♥
