Seems way too easy and life is just a lot more complicated than that.<BR/><BR/>Thank you for this post.Lindahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15222197140433385319noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-20035630.post-19827600187245526302008-04-15T15:08:00.000-05:002008-04-15T15:08:00.000-05:00I used to think I fit into this world...but that w...I used to think I fit into this world...but that was before everyone I knew began to get married and have kidlets.

I brought up the camper thing because I noticed that it was one area that I don't have any Joneses. Not that I don't love getting invited to someone's kickass big hauler dealie to sleep in after a hot day at the beach!

I think I'm learning that my own definitions are ok, and to just go ahead and "be" and "do" and not worry about "fitting", because we'll never completely "fit" anyway. Not to say that I love feeling uncomfortable, I actually don't like it at all, but it's not always a bad thing.<BR/>MaryAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-20035630.post-35388946105447885552008-04-14T15:08:00.000-05:002008-04-14T15:08:00.000-05:00I totally "got this" Joyce....L-lewI totally "got this" Joyce....L-lewAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-20035630.post-6874854958104585322008-04-14T14:57:00.000-05:002008-04-14T14:57:00.000-05:00I totally agree that the only way to grow is to co...I totally agree that the only way to grow is to constantly make yourself uncomfortable.
