The world says we fit into one stereotype and we believe it. I wish we spent less time categorizing each other (and ourselves) and focused instead on what we are and what we can become.<br /><br />You rock, Julia.

Truth is, I do some things very well (most of the time) and some things I do well infrequently. But I am past the point of beating myself up about my life. If I don't like things, I need to change them. F'rinstance: my banjo sounds terrible when I play it once every six months. If I want an improvement, I need to spend more time with it. That is a simple matter of choice. <br /><br />As for writing, I've been doing it for so long, I cannot imagine myself going more than a few days without writing something. <br /><br />Blessings and Bear hugs!<br /><a href="http://bears-noting.blogspot.com" rel="nofollow">Bears Noting</a>, <a href="http://in-the-urban-forest.blogspot.com" rel="nofollow">Life in the Urban Forest</a> <i>(poetry)</i>.Rob-bearhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00171692478879522588noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8457416499008334455.post-57232898288700221462013-06-05T08:21:21.759-07:002013-06-05T08:21:21.759-07:00I love this!!
