Hey everybody!
       How many times do we wish we could change something about ourselves, in the click of an instant?  What would you change about yourself?  Your hair?  Your nose? Your butt?  Or, would it be something else?  Your inability to say no?  Your selfishness?  Your temper?  If you’re like me, there’s a laundry list of stuff I wish I could instantly change.  But, not everything comes as easy as DVR’ing a tv show, or speaking an address into our cell phones when we need directions.  The changes I’ve made…the changes I’m making…are slow and painful.  It comes back to that “hard to honestly look in the mirror” thing we were talking about yesterday.

It’s a cold, hard truth.  Most of us choose to see ourselves the way we want others to see us….not what’s really there.  I’m not there yet by a long shot.   But each day I pray I’m a better woman, lover, wife and stepmom, than I was the day before.  It’s challenging, to say the least.  But, worth it.
What would I do if I could snap my fingers?  I’d be more like this girl:

The one on the left….that’s my bff, Melissa.  She is loving and sweet, ambitious and super likable, but can stand up to anyone or anything she’s passionate about, if you cross her, her family, or a friend.  She will love you through any situation, even if you’re wrong.   But make her mad, and she will cut your butt up, fry you on high heat, and serve your carcass to the buzzards, lol!!!  That’s a slight exaggeration there, but it was too funny not to put it that way.  Baaaaaahaha!!!!!!  I don’t aspire to be her because she’s perfect…none of us are.  But if I could bottle her goodness and spunk in a bottle and sell  that stuff, we’d all be better for it.

I’m ok being me.  I suck at trying to be something I’m not.  So, as long as I try to improve ME, than that’s the main thing.
Miranda Lambert is my all time  favorite female country singer.  She can write it, play it, sing it, harmonize it, and produce the album too.  I so wanna be her when I grow up!!  My all time favorite song of hers is “More Like Her”.  Yes, it’s sad, I’m warning you already.  She loves a guy who loves her for awhile, and then goes back to his old lover.  And although it’s a slow, acoustic guitar based lovin’ and leavin’ song…the lyrics are so poignant. 

That is my favorite line.  It speaks volumes in two sentences.  I just love that!!  Well, if you’re not familiar with her, listen to that song!  Then, play her Revolution album.  It’s chock full of great music!!!  Well, I’ll shut it down for now.  Y’all have been wonderful and so supportive.  It has been awesome making new friends and catching up with old ones.  Take care everyone and we’ll talk again soon.  Love to all!
