Change Me? I don't think so !

Throughout my life people have tried to change me, and at times, I have tried to change to make other people happy. When I reached 40 I decided I was going to be myself because that's when I'm happiest.

So I am who I am. I love making new friends and believe you can learn from people in your life. But if you don't like me then so be it. It really doesn't matter because the sun will still rise tomorrow. I say this because even recently, at this stage in life, I had friends who wanted me to react and be like them. Sorry, I'm not.

This is what I am. I'm truthful, loyal, compassionate, a good friend and I will stay out of your business if you stay out of mine. The things that are important to me may be boring to most. My faith in God, family (including animals) and friends come first, then writing, photography and Alabama football.

When I lay my head down at night I know I'm a good person including being a good wife and mother. I do not stab people in the back. I'm not two-faced; if I don't like you, you know it. But above all else, I am who I am. You will never change me so don't even try.

I don't want to be like everyone else; I just want to be me.
