As I grow older, I pay less attention to what men say. I just
watch what they do.
-Andrew Carnegie
Isn't this good advice?
It has taken me a very long time to learn lessons of life.
I feel like an infant in the realm of human relations, sometimes.
I am exactly what my junior high teacher, Mr Sherrill said in my
yearbook,
"Constantly surprised by life,
and seemingly amused".
You might think,
in my 5th decade of life,
that I would be a bit more savvy.
But no...
I am constantly surprised....
and
amazingly,......still amused.
"Authentic"
is now my chosen work fo the year.
I have noticed that several, of the bloggers
I follow, have chosen words.
So, I thought I would, too.
Authentic: genuine, real.
Yes...
that fits in nicely with my outlook for this
year of 2010...
I want to be authentic in my acts and deeds...
and
I hope to choose my fellow travelers carefully,
by watching their actions,
rather than
their words.
Now...
you may say
"Ellen, how the heck are you going to judge whether
bloggers are authentic?"
Ha!
As those of you who do this daily,
whether reading or writing or simply perusing..
you can tell..
smiles.
