Once you recognize and accept who you are, what others say about you is perhaps worth noting but it is not who you are.Ross Lonerganhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01425058539248402978noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8712013839596084449.post-86759291663771801402010-10-13T18:53:16.552-07:002010-10-13T18:53:16.552-07:00I can relate to what you are saying here.

I am somewhat shy in some ways but in others ways I am not. A friend of mine said that I am not allowed to say that I am shy. With him I am not. He has told me several times that in the last few years that I have been like a butterfly emerging from a cocoon. But someone else close to me has told me that if people knew what I really was that they wouldn't think that I was that great a person.

I am touched that you read my work. <br /><br />I suppose it is never too late in life to try and discover what holds us back from truly living life and to work at removing those obstacles, with God's help. May God bless us on our journey.Ross Lonerganhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01425058539248402978noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8712013839596084449.post-70627492005181447232010-10-11T05:13:13.633-07:002010-10-11T05:13:13.633-07:00Great post, Ross!

It's gotten a little better as I've gotten older but it's still there. What I've learned is that I can act in spite of the fear and I guess that's something!Sr. Ann Mariehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13306386663608358131noreply@blogger.com
