It's quite tedious coming up a list of things other people don't know about you (besides I think they really don’t care). But just for fun, I decided to come up with this. I was tempted to follow the 101 list but to add some personal flair in it, I make it 108. Wonder where I get that number?
1. When all is said and done, my family is all I ever have.

With regard to your #38 - you may feel boring but your writing is anything but boring.
You have beautiful expressive writing and a talent for painting your life in color through your words of self-awarness rather than shadowing yourself, as most of us do, in the grayness of denial and pretense.
The real truth of who we are is known only from our own heart, from where we must first learn to love ourselves before we are feel safe to accept love from others.
It was a blessing to me and uplifting to read your blog tonight.
Beth
hush with that 108 thinggy...you are SPECIAL and SOMETHING... enough said.
Hi Beth, thanks for visiting my blog and taking the time to read my post. I appreciate your comment on my writing.
I'd like to think that I'm compensating my obvious lack of social skills with my writing.
Thanks again for visiting..:-)
