Sometimes

Sometimes I need to remember that I can easily come off sounding needy. Right now I am going to work towards counteracting this needy tendency or at least its perception.

I am blessed for many reasons...

I am blessed for a family who love me regardless of what I do. Sometimes I think that they love me in spite of what I do.
I am blessed for friends who support my decisions regardless of their personal beliefs or feelings. They tell me what they feel, yet support me without question.
