Giving and Receiving Only Love

Everyone has an opinion about my blog. Most are favorable. Funny, though, how the people closest to me are the most critical...because they don't want anyone to misunderstand who I am...but hearing these criticisms, while maybe they have their merit, only stifle me, and make me not want to share my feelings! Like my post last night...my sister was worried that I did not appear as "humble" as she knows that I am...but really that was a bit of comic relief for me...it's like I told my daughters recently..."You know, if I had known how much I had going for me when I was a child...I would have been unstoppable..."  The lesson is: Don't wait until your mid-way through life to do what you want, be what you want, with whom you want, and be WHERE you want!! Of course, I did have drive, until I had my accident, I really wanted to be an entertainer of some sort, and after college, I had begun working with a local entertainment group, was elected President at the 1st meeting by a bunch of people whom I barely knew, then we were working with channel 21, in Fort Wayne, as I recall that was ABC, and then after my recovery, I totally changed my course...and the most important thing to me was having a family... Yes, I am humble, and thankful...and now, if anything that I write makes you feel bad or feel like you need to judge me...I am going to tell you what my mother once said to me, and I have always found this to be true: "Tracy, people see things as THEY are...not as they are."  Still, the truth is, that it took me 49 years to know how much I can offer to this world...and it took me this long to find the place where I truly feel loved and happy.  I don't even have to be in a relationship to tell you that I feel loved...but the love is there in my heart, so I see it all around me.
