Recently, I was told, "you should read your own blog." Insinuating I was being hypocritical and not being like my mother, who I said I was trying to be like.
The comment made me not want to blog. I think I knew that someday someone would use that line on me... Seriously.
I want to be like my mom, but I'm not there yet, and I don't claim at all to be. Never have.
You know that right?
I'm making an effort. That is how this blog got started to show what an amazing person she was, and how I hope to be like her, and how I hope my children will learn from her even though she isn't around to teach them.
I never claimed that I would be like her six months after starting my blog, and I don't want to be seen as hypocritical as I type about how wonderful she is as if I am saying how wonderful I am too. If only... I just needed to put this reminder out there from my very first post that I put that this effort to become more like my mom was going to be in "baby steps."
Baby steps.
Not overnight.
Baby steps.
Please keep that in mind.
That's all.
Have a wonderful day, and feel free to baby step right along with me. :)

Its true, it's a process. what a good friend you have to help you be better! (lol)I like it, it makes me laugh and you know what, It's real there isn't enough reality in this world.
your friend is a jerk! just kidding. :)
your mom had many more years of practice being cheerful and optimistic. you'll get there one day. and don't worry, i'll never remind you to take your own advice. i hate when jon uses my words against me, too.
I like how you put that Jen. I think she had a head start on me though too. I think it was her nature to be like that, my nature is to be mean and grouchy. :) So, I have to put a little more effort into it. :)
