which is a wonder I've not strained anything in my brain with all that extra "work"
But, yes, I've been thinking very hard about a few things lately. I've even emailed friends those thoughts. I've called friends up (repeatedly in some cases) with those thoughts. In the responses I have gotten, I have come to the conclusion that I just need to post them. Some deal with adoption. Some deal with general LIFE. Some...well...probably only make sense to me. But I hope, through the exercise of typing them out I will solidify my own thoughts, and perhaps I can inspire some of you to think a little deeper about some subjects.
But gosh, I'm not touching politics with a 10 foot pole. Just want to make that CLEAR.
Religious topics will not be the main focus except in a few cases right here at the beginning (one is WHY I don't have a ton of religious references on my blog and the 2nd is something I've been thinking about and dealing with for a few months).
I'm sure I will ruffle some feathers. I'm sure I will make some upset with me for my viewpoints. But you know, this is MY blog. MY opinions are MY opinions. MY thoughts are MY thoughts. I've come to recognize in myself that things that bother me, things that upset me that others say just might have some truth to them. When I have thought about WHY I am upset, angry, uncomfortable with something someone said...well...it's been hard. But typically I've found myself growing as a person, stretching myself, and changing. Perhaps if you find yourself in that position, thinking about why might bring about your own responses. Remember though, it is not my intention to OFFEND anyone, nor am I setting out to cast blame.
Just trying to get the thoughts that I've been pestering friends with OVER and OVER and OVER out there so I can solidify WHY I think what I am thinking.
So...just a warning that I'm going to be posting some "Tough Thoughts" soon.
and yes...one is going to be a thought brought about my now 6 year old's question, "Why do we call the color blue...BLUE?"
Now aren't you GLAD you weren't on the receiving end of that phone call to a friend?

I also think it helps (me at least) to get things written out -- somehow that makes things a little bit clearer! Good luck!
