Joining the Club
Those of you who really know me know that I don't typically follow suit with society. Intellectually, anyway. I follow some trends (hence the recent purchase of bejeweled jeans) and look like a normal person to the naked eye- -but I like to think that I'm set apart by doing things the way I do them. If someone goes or does something one way, chances are you'll see me going and doing in the opposite direction.
I'm making an exception tonight and joining the
"30 days of Truth"
club. I keep up with a few bloggers who have taken the challenge and it's been intriguing to read their responses. I wonder how I would answer to some of them, and I've decided that I'll never know unless I take the challenge and pressure myself to think about them.
So for those of you who would rather not pry into my intimately private life, you can tune back into my blog on/around the 16th of December. Until then- -it's just me, my computer, and raw thoughts about my life.
(I'm aware that there is some way to actually post the list of 30 questions to my blog, however I'm not quite that blog-savvy. If anyone reading this is interested in the list, let me know and I'll tell you where to find it.)
DAY 1: SOMETHING YOU HATE ABOUT YOURSELF
Well, the first thing that comes to mind (which is always the subconscious truth, right?) is that
I hate how I dwell on things.
I recently heard someone describe it as having a "good memory." I feel there is a distinct difference between the two. Perhaps dwelling on good, positive things could be considered as "good memory." I'm talking about dwelling on the things that turn me off and irritate me. Sadly, my husband gets the short end of this stick much too often. Deep inside, it's like I'm just trying to find a reason to be upset sometimes. If you look hard enough, you always find what you're looking for, right? I always find it, and I hate that I do. Luckily, my husband understands my impulsive nature and is quick to forgive.
I want to be more like him.
(I'm sure this won't be the last of the soon-to-come 29 questions to affirm that conclusion.) He is so good about hearing me out when I apologize and explain what I was feeling and why. He would have every reason to turn it right back around and dwell on the way I acted toward him, but it's as if it all just disappears. And then I fall in love with him all over again =0)
So today, I vow to be better about seeing (looking for) the good and letting go of things that irritate me. Life is too short to live with self-induced heartbreak.

This seems utterly terrifying to examine yourself this way. I want to see the list because I might do it too :)
