Tearing down a few walls

1) life has a way of reminding you of what's really important & 2) I've been way too concerned about myself lately. In an earlier post I mentioned that I'd been working on myself, taking time, trying to tear down these walls I've built around myself. I'm one who's been afraid to let anyone see the real me lest they scream & run the other way. (lest - is that even a real word?) I'm very guarded in my relationships in real life & even online. Heck, I haven't even posted a real picture of myself on this blog! Seriously, I have issues. But I do realize that my issues are pretty insignificant. There are so many around me who have been battling cancer, trying to save marriages & just trying to make ends meet. That song by Matthew West sums it up pretty well.

In my own little world it hardly ever rains
I’ve never gone hungry, always felt safe
I got some money in my pocket, shoes on my feet
In my own little world
Population: me

I'm going to try to live outside my own little world this week & do something for someone else. Not just the normal things I do everyday around the house, but maybe do something for a stranger or maybe help a friend anonomously. I'll let you know what I come up with. If you've got ideas, please let me know.




On another note, I am sooo looking forward to tomorrow. Falling for You - Art journaling class starts tomorrow! WooHoo!! It's finally starting to feel like fall. Temps are getting into the 50s at night. Thats when I love to open the windows & let the crisp cool air in. I'm anxious to start this class & see what Molly has in store for us.
