"Blogs are supposed to be the ultimate expression of unvarnished personal opinion." from the following article:
or here is the definition from the dictionary:
| Definition: | an online diary; a personal chronological log of thoughts published on a Web page; also called Weblog, Web log |
| Example: | Typically updated daily, blogs often reflect the personality of the author. |

I like the quote from the article. That was what I was thinking a blog should be. I like blogging but it is a little frightening to put all your thoughts and feelings out on the web for any and everyone to see. People will abuse it -at the very least interpret things the wrong way. That being said I will keep on blogging and anyone who reads my blogs will get 100% real ME! Not some trite BS. I guess I have been feeling bad because I have been feeling self-centered lately - patting myself on the back for my accomplishments in school. But I am proud of my accomplishments. I am proud of my work and I want to document it so I can look back on it during tough times and know I can accomplish a lot when I put my mind to it.
ME
My husband recently gave me an awesome compliment. Well, he has given me many (and yes I will brag on it) but I have been thinking about this lately. He said that I am very strong, that I am a fighter, and that I know what I want, I know what is right and I go for it, no matter what. He said I don't waffle on things. I was pleased to hear it (pleased that somebody recognized it) because I have worked hard at going after what I want. I have always been a strong person (a fighter) but I have not always been very confident or a go getter. Going to college and overcoming the obstacles that I have, to succeed in school, has taught me a lot about setting goals, being confident, and about my own will power. I am proud of this and this is my life at the present. I want to write about it - maybe it will inspire someone. I also want to pay tribute to my husband because if not for him I don't think I could have gone this far. Sure I can dream - dream big, but he has been there with love and support. I also want to let my husband know (I could not articulate it at the time) that I do waffle but I am not afraid, have never been afraid to dream and I think that is a part of my success. I think of what I want, I think about what I have to do to get it, I do it. I don't let fear or doubt overcome me. I use positive visualation to get me through. It really works! Thanks Oprah! If I have to revise a dream/goal or timeline I do it, but I keep going for it. You just have to keep on keeping on. And I do, but I could not do it without the support of my husband (to keep food on the table, to keep shelter, to keep me down to earth, to keep me laughing and feeling loved) and I want him (and everyone) to know that it means the world to me.
