My Dislikes:
pettiness, manipulation, people who pull into a parking space you've been waiting for, not having enough time to do everything I want to do, dust, dirty laundry, being called ma'am, homelessness, guys who think girls are all helpless and stupid, know it alls

Why I Write Living Reflections:
I was thinking one day about how people are always planning, looking to the future.. I do this when I grow up, I'll do that when I make enough money, etc. etc. People seem to be waiting for the big wow which will come "someday"... or maybe that is just me. Meanwhile life goes by. Little things happen everyday that make your life your life. These little things give your life meaning. So this is just a place for me to write down all these little things that happen to me or I'm thinking about or that affect me. I'm just celebrating the little things that life throws me.


Basically, I'm just a girl.. trying to figure out life as I go.

How I Write Living Reflections:
I write about things I see, things I do, things I think about. Most of the time, I do not write personal details involving other people. Just because I chose to expose some parts of my life to the masses, doesn't mean everyone I know does. My rule is: if I wouldn't want someone writing something like this about me online, I'm not writing about it online. I would never want those around me to behave differently for fear of it being described online. I don't want people to have to say to me: this is "off the blog record". Only once can I remember saying: "I'm SO blogging this", but it was a good one. Nor do I feel it's fair to express my side only of personal issues, when the others have limited access to present their side. I know this may make the blog somewhat less scintillating, less engaging.. but it's my blog and you're free not to read if you don't like it.. there are plenty of folks exposing their souls elsewhere.
