And what I needed the most..

"People are often unreasonable and self-centered. Forgive them anyway. If you are kind, people may accuse you of ulterior moves. Be kind anyway. If you are honest, people may cheat you. Be honest anyway. If you find happiness, people may be jealous. Be happy anyway. The good you do today may be forgotten tomorrow. Do good anyway. Give the world the best you have and it may never be enough. Give your best anyway. For you see, in the end, it is between you and God. It was never between you and them anyway."

Mother Teresa

"God hasn't called me to be successful. He's called me to be faithful." - Mother Teresa

Who I am.

I am so blessed and thankful for the people who know me and who have stuck around to get to know me.  For my friends who have allowed me to show my sensitive self, and continued to accept me, even though I'm not that tough little broad I got out of the car as.  You all have allowed me to become who I always was and you have NO idea the amount of love and gratitude I feel towards you all, every day of my life.

For those of you who have been around long enough to know me, and have chosen not to get to know me.. shame on you. I am, for once, standing my ground and forgiving myself, to choose NOT to try and please everyone.  I am me.  I am a FANTASTIC wife.  A FREAKING FANTASTIC WIFE!  I stand by my man through hell and back.  You realize I said, "stand by," not, "I 'would' stand by," right?  That's because I HAVE DONE IT.  I love him, through sickness and in health, for richer for poorer, and I will continue to.  It wasn't a joke.  EVER.  It was always real... almost 5 years later, and we continue to prove that to you.

I am not asking for an award.  I am not even caring if you agree or disagree (that's over with), but I am saying one thing, and this is it: If you can't love me for me.. and appreciate what I do, then please do not expect anything more from me.
