Do you ever think that if we could each step into each others shoes would we hold our tounges better? Would you ask a aquitance about their baby bump when it is just fat? Embarishing for both parties. Would you ask,"Are you expecting yet?" How bought people with larger clans? Would you say something like, "You're having another one?" I have friends who had trouble having children and friends with large families. The only sad part is how much they cannot have understanding for each other. The same could apply to other stituations. The truth is that we cannot be in someone else's shoes. We can only true to be compassionate and kind. I fail too often because I am way too blunt. I am someone who is guilty of being "brutally honest." I am working on it. I feel like whenever I fail, God smacks me with a life lesson. It probably is not that dramatic, but feels that way at the time.
I am starting my own blog to reduce my boredom and give me a place to put my thoughts. Recently some people I know put some very difficult words out for all the world to see. I have been chicken to do the same and now I want to set the record straight. I didn't talk to people from high school for over ten years. It seems so silly now. I found out recently that I'm not the only one who grew up in college and beyond. We aren't kids anymore so the past is just that the past. I'll admit some of it I don't want to remember, but we did have some fun times in high school. The truth is something happened to me that I was not at all ready to talk about so I just avoided people. I got married in 1998 to a really great guy I met in college. We were giddy and in love. We decided after nine months of bliss to have a baby. Why not? I was bored and we wanted one. That sounds terrible to say that, but it is true. Boom one month later I was expecting. Three months later Jo
