Getting Started

So here is my first post in my new blog. I have loved to write since I can remember but I have never really been any good at it. Lately however I have decided life is to short to worry so much about what we are good at or not good at. The other day I was waiting on my niece and her kids to shop at Kroger. I was sitting in the store entrance on a bench. I was watching the people come in and out and smiling at them as to say hello. So many of them would look at you quickly and then just as quick look away as if anticipating they may have to inter act with me. Others would look and just not smile, some would smile after a few seconds like a delayed reaction. Some did smile back right away. It seemed to me that everyone seemed to be in a really big hurry (except my niece). I also observed how people looked and it made me think about how hung up we all are on how we look. Do we ever take the time to look around at how other people look? I don't think we do. I think we have that one person in our life who's hair is great and makeup is good and is what we think is the perfect weight and that's who we compare ourselves to. The truth is there are more of us running around in our comfy clothes without makeup then you think. Stop and watch folks for a while and you will see. We are all so caught up in appearance that we forget to look at people. Guys I'm not leaving you out either. You do it too! It may not be so much about how others look that your concerned with and I'm not a guy but I know you worry about weight, how much hair you have on your head. Seriously we need to focus less on others appearance and see we all are dealing with the same things. Weight, aging, hair. Take back your joy and don't let what others look like, or have be how you measure yourself. Trust me someone is doing the same thing to you.
