I'm not who I thought I was

Let's just get one thing out in the open- we are not perfect.  I am not perfect either.  I just am not.  I never declared I was and never thought I was.  I am not perfect.

But damn- it sure does hurt for someone to just blatantly point that out.

We all grow in different ways- and this week I am apparently being polished a bit to improve on myself.  Be a better parent, a better friend, a better wife, a better neighbor, a better Christian.  I am not a person who can take words with a grain of salt.  I take them straight to my heart- and dang it hurts.

I suppose that I had kind of given up.  Life had become so very heavy that my shoulders kind of caved and I just laid down under the weight.  But today I will get up, dust myself off and work on doing it all again.  Only better.
