There’s a word for you!
Intriguing and beguiling all at the same time.
Frustrating comes to my mind though too.
Did you know when I write this nightly you all have the ability to give me your comments by clicking on the word ‘comments’ on the bottom of this blog?
Many people have left messages that have been very nice and have on occasion recommended ideas or suggestions which I do love with their names included and so I have been able to know who to thank.
But on occasion I receive an interesting note that is quite captivating and also shockingly complimentary and it is that one from the other night that has taken me aback!
Unfortunately, this time the remark was made anonymously!
Hubby insists that he didn’t do it.
As you may have figured out from that statement of above of mine that he was the person that I accused of such an act of kindness.
And so once again I am baffled, but let’s face it, it doesn’t take much these days.
You know it is extremely refreshing to know that others are listening to what I have to say, and gosh they must have not too much to do either, huh?
That is to be reading this crap that I call my own, but I am so thrilled that they do!

Over the years I have been honored to make friends with many different people in the education field. I suppose because I had many family members who were teachers on both my Mom’s and Dad’s sides of the family and so those ‘smarty pants peeps’, have never ever intimidated me as an adult, but I think as a child that wasn’t always the case. Because I do hold most all of them in very high regard, which they rightfully deserve.
That feeling of no one being any better than you is a learned behavior and helps initiate confidence in a harsh world, but in truth we all put our pants on one leg at a time and there’s the rub it brings us all down to the same level of being human, correct? You betcha…
And so dear anonymous thanks for your comments that I had to read a few times to make sure it wasn’t someone being snarky with me, since in half of the comment was how well I would do as the Speaker of the House (it was written after my concerns over the new speaker’s weepy persona), and was then said “since I am the Speaker of MY House.”
If it was a man who is not modern and believes like many used to believe and a few older women still do that children and women should only be seen and not heard then it would be an insult, but if it was a: "you really do speak your mind without fear and good for you!” then I must admit and accept that was a heck of a wonderful thing to say!
I know, I know I profess to be so self assured but I bet you all know that’s usually a façade from me… since my feelings are still too easily hurt; thus this analysis of a
this noteworthy commentary to make my life that much more interesting!
“That beating a dead horse”, thingy comes to my mind again.
Leave well enough alone …yep and someday I will just learn to accept compliments without wondering why they said that and what were they really thinking, yea right… then I wouldn’t be me.


I will leave it alone for now with simplicity of the words sinking into my overactive brain and just say thanks so much for reading this blog and having the nerve to say what you feel too!
How truly brave of you dear anonymous friend of mine…

On that note of acceptance, since that is all any of us really want in life… the ability to be who we are…and so I will wish you all a happy good night and to all please count those blessings and share those overages and we will too!

And next time please be here or be square, OK?
