Thanks for the Memories

Me- when I was itty-bitty and cute!

Ayla- when she is itty-bitty and cute!

Do you see the resemblance?

Why blog? To be honest, I didn't ever want to be a "blogger" but slowly began getting into it as relatives and friends did. Eh, it was a way to keep the people's updated of our happenings and keep up with theirs without having to actually talk to them. Is that bad?

After Ayla & Zoey were born, blogging became a communication avenue to keep family and friends updated on their progress. It became a norm. Eventually, this blog morphed into a semi-online journal for our family and in a strange twisted way, a little bit like cheap therapy on occasion...... and you're reading it so don't say I didn't warn you! haa haa ha

My point? Today I heard it again: "Heidi, you are a hard person to get to know." This from a co-worker whom had been with the company for over a year. A year and they don't know me? That kinda made me sad.....I truly am not a snob- really!

By default, I am a private person (a little on the shy side) and because of that, people have a hard time getting close to me. Plus I like to listen- you can learn A LOT from being quiet and just listening. Yet I've heard on more than one occasion that I am 'difficult person to get to know'......what is so weird about that? Emotions are scary and it's much easier to eat chocolate than deal with fickle emotions, right? Not according to my chirocracker. He says I internalize stress which is making my neck issues worse on top of having a twisted pelvis. He laughed when I told him, "So fix it. I get an adjustment and move on, right?" No, I am not stubborn- wherever would that idea come from??

Anyway, for those of you who wonder how to get past my outward spiny exterior....just smile. That was easy...whew! 'Nuff said.
