It feels so wierd to never mention my husband when so many blogs sing such great songs about theirs. Mine is a total butthead and we are at the end of it all, but how do you explain all that? Does anyone really want to wade thru that with you???? I feel like I need to be the real me but the sunny side keeps pushing the cloudy side outa the way!<br />Blessings~LillySueSuehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13282202473203769106noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7597261479143911525.post-58141348588575550442009-10-07T19:35:44.505-05:002009-10-07T19:35:44.505-05:00This is the first time at your blog.

Are they holding back?

I find that my favorite blogs are the ones that can make me laugh, cry, make me think or touch me in someway and typically those blogs are written by people who don't take themselves so seriously. If a person isn't being real or true then they are really only hurting themselves.<br />Have a great night!<br />JenAnonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00764150313494933606noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7597261479143911525.post-27272385610136558422009-10-07T10:59:43.959-05:002009-10-07T10:59:43.959-05:00Good thoughts for this Tuesday morning. I always ...Good thoughts for this Tuesday morning. I always wonder if people would really want to see all the imperfection in my life. Depressing! : ) It is a balance I'm sure. I think being as honest as you can without too much angst. It's kinda like what Lisa said in the comments. I blog to get away from the negative stuff. Not to hide it, just not to dwell on it. I suffer from severe depression, sometime debilitating. It is something to get away from. To be pleased that a project is finally done even when it has been a long time in coming, or a recipe finally made or something that made me smile can make someone else smile. Whew! Lots to think about.Christinahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13664673474528230532noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7597261479143911525.post-41853696380157999252009-10-07T09:04:20.173-05:002009-10-07T09:04:20.173-05:00I agree.

In the long run people will always be happier if they are honest...and so will their friends.

I have also learned to set boundaries. Like has its "good and bad"~"ups and down"~along with hicups, burps and farts.

Other than a few girls in blogland I actually browse occasionally and more than anything try to take fun helpful hints and of course decorating knowledge. Otherwise, I try not to compare my life to the internet world of friendships.<br />Hey, have you decided on what laptop to get yet?

I sometimes feel as if I don't measure up. I am learning to let that go and just be me and not worry about whether I have 1 comment or 30.

Not really acting like the bad never happens we just don't want to talk about it here. I try and share some of the more real things like a friend dying and a baby cousin having cancer. But Not that my Mother lives with me and drives me crazy daily. And my little sister and her family live across the street and well it would be nice if it was great. But I blog to not deal with it all the time. NOT to hide from you all that it happens. We are all ultimately happy and thankful for our families and no one really wants to listen to us complain all the time. I do think people can put on a front but they are probably doing it for their neighbors, friends, coworkers and even families too. I guess it takes longer to figure it out online. Sorry you are seeming to have such a time. I really enjoy visiting your blog. You seem to take life as it comes and roll with the punches! You go girl! and don't forget to enjoy your blogging!<br />Hugs, LisaLisahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18163770592325495410noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7597261479143911525.post-41627851488711481812009-10-06T11:31:01.500-05:002009-10-06T11:31:01.500-05:00Sounds good Amy!

Maybe my life seemed "perfect" to another blogger because she actually left me a comment saying she hoped nothing "happened" to my husband. That really scared me for someone to say something so heartless.
