I know there's some controversy about making changes in your life or just throwing it to the wind and letting your true colors show. I've been contemplating this lately, and I think I might just be one of those people that can't change in to something I'm not. There's a line between making changes in yourself or your surroundings out of necessity, and just changing to be what other people think you should be. In the marriage relationship, we're going to have to change a little to accomodate the needs of our partner. But, as an individual, why should we change ourselves to be a mold of where/what we're doing in our life? I think every individual has the right to think what they want to think, and be who they want to be. I might not always approve of that, but it's just the plain and simple truth that everyone has a differnt personality. It can be hard to respect someone else that is very different from you, but that is what I want to work on.
I think I'm a pretty strong woman, and I may just have a few control issues...maybe. ;) But, I'm quite confident in who I am, what I believe in, and how I run my life. Strong willed I've always been, and always will be. The same goes for Caleb. He is who he is, and I can try to shape him, but he'll ultimately be his own person. Right now, I like who he is....my sweet, innocent, almost two year old! (Just can't help attaching this photo of him at Tulip Time!)
