"Tell it like it is...."

I have been told by certain authorities that I have been blessed with the gift of communication, and that I will bless the lives of many with this gift.

I BEG TO DIFFER. MUCH AS I TRY WITH ALL MY MIGHT. I BEG TO DIFFER.

It seems like I suck at communication more than anyone else in the whole world!(Well, maybe I am a little better than Ozzy Ozborne, but it is a close thing)(Hahahahahaha! Ozzy Ozborne! That makes me laugh so hard!). I have been attempting to mend some broken fences lately with a ton of people I have not had the best of relationships in the past, and it is hard! I am NOT a brave person. So after three seperate prayerful attempts this week, one has been a huge success! My Mother-in-law and I have not had a horrible relationship, but it had room for improvement, and I think we have a lot more open communication now after some emails we sent back and forth to eachother about how we feel about one another. I got to tell you, my mother-in-law is awesome. She has come through some serious trials in her life, and is a huge source of awe and inspiration to me. When BJ and I were first married I called her our concierge because she either knows information about almost anything, or how to get it.(Did that make sense?) She has been a huge inspiration of how I want to raise my kids. She was always teaching her children about art, music, culture, etc. I love hearing stories from BJ about how one week she went to the library and got a whole bunch of movies with classic comedians, so her kids would be exposed to lots of different funny.:) She is incredibly resourceful, more so than almost anyone else I know.(and this is coming from the gal who needed some bloomers, so she ripped apart an old pink polo to make some:). I always worried about marrying a fella whose Mum I couldn't get a long with, but I am not worried about that anymore.:) We niether of us are perfect, but we are both pretty awesome(Well, I am only a little awesome:).

Good at communication though? Maybe in the next life?

ps.I do believe a soul can change though, so when I get to finish my BA I am getting it in the writing emphasis so I can finally atleast have good grammar when I talk.;D


pps.This is a pic of me and BJ eating a footlong hot dog at Disneyland back in the day.:D Random? I'll let you be the judge of that.
