I am grateful you brought it up--this has been on my mind today because some of my sisters (sisters are the best and the worst, you know?) are having trouble reconciling the blog me with the me they know. I think some of them think my blog stinks, in fact. And that I stink. Figuratively, not literally. Just saying. Anyway, it all makes life so interesting and is a good reminder that we should not judge because only God knows what is truly in our hearts. Are you a special ed assistant? What grade? I have known so many during The Big Guy's lifetime and I think they are such special people. It's not as if the pay really cover it, right? So, you are there for a different reason (well, that on top of the money)and I think that is really wonderful.Heidihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12660156433881882098noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-585748112633478360.post-90957853359459957432008-10-16T16:14:00.000-06:002008-10-16T16:14:00.000-06:00So true.

I am a walking contradiction myself. I can stand in front of company VP's and confidently give a presentation on revenue maximization. But in a smaller group, like church meetings, I am too worried about speaking up. Sometimes I almost feel like I'm dying inside. Even on my blog I change personalities a lot. <BR/><BR/>Very thought provoking post. I love it.Little GrumpyAngelhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14065581455480762162noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-585748112633478360.post-31524593935096214612008-10-16T12:59:00.000-06:002008-10-16T12:59:00.000-06:00Yes, what Lisa said.

My silly self, my introspective self, my faithful self....<BR/>I love the tights analogy at the end!Heather of the EOhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14607422301391841377noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-585748112633478360.post-26291399137448259612008-10-16T11:27:00.000-06:002008-10-16T11:27:00.000-06:00So interesting.

I have a few VERY close friends that I tell ALL to, but for most others it is pretty superficial. <BR/><BR/>I spend a lot of my day trying to figure myself out. You hit the nail on the head Bishop. I don't know that I could represent myself any other way than superficially since I don't really know what I'm all about. <BR/><BR/>My husband said something this weekend that was so funny and out of character that we got a good chuckle out of it. He said something rather gossipy about a friend or ours -huh??- When I looked at him funny he shrugged and said, "Well, I don't KNOW, I'm just judging." We laughed and laughed.<BR/><BR/>That comment should follow a lot of my conversations.Miss Brandyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15910219491163674754noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-585748112633478360.post-72533088876973318862008-10-16T09:04:00.000-06:002008-10-16T09:04:00.000-06:00People often make the mistake of assuming that I a...People often make the mistake of assuming that I am a confident, social person, when in reality that is what I want to be... not who I am. Then they read my blog and no longer harbor those misapprehensions. :-D<BR/><BR/>My BIL says we live in a "confessionary" culture. Interesting notion since my blog includes the word "confessions" in it. The internet is a strange place where people generally have a different public persona than they do in "normal" life. <BR/><BR/>Each scrap of a notion of a part of a personality is another puzzle piece. I often wonder what picture people see when they try to fit my pieces together... The wonderful thing about it, though, is that my puzzle is constantly changing and being refined.Julianahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13971228395708019541noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-585748112633478360.post-51335817946388940992008-10-16T07:39:00.000-06:002008-10-16T07:39:00.000-06:00Interesting!

It's also why we shouldn't judge! <BR/><BR/>I love your closing paragraph. <BR/><BR/>I think about this a lot when it comes to blogging/bloggers. We really don't actually get to know each other that well, although it sort of depends on the blogger and what they write about. I've been thinking that I would love to meet some of you when I ever come to the States, but then I feel a little scared, too! Our blog self isn't necessarily the same as our public self which is usually quite different from our private self. Sheesh. That's a lot of selves!LisAwayhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03299284773832500834noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-585748112633478360.post-3217140858535330632008-10-15T23:45:00.000-06:002008-10-15T23:45:00.000-06:00The older I get the more I respect the mysteries o...The older I get the more I respect the mysteries of others' lives. The story is not just different; it's huge. And it's likely as inscrutable to that person as it is to a stranger. Our public selves are not half of who we are. I think they are a scrap of a fragment of a notion of a part.Gideon Burtonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08282494104976426309noreply@blogger.com
