Challenges

Challenges - To remain indifferent to the challenges we face is indefensible. If the goal is noble, whether or not it is realized within our lifetime is largely irrelevant. What we must do therefore is to strive and persevere and never give up. -Dalai Lama

There are times I love challenges, they excite me and motivate me.  Other times, they exhaust me and I allow them to wear me down.  I think the hardest challenges are at times personal.  I've been told to give up - or quit trying so hard - to let things be as they are - in regards to certain situations, but it's so wonderful when things get better. I'm certain there will be many more challenges in the future with our wonderful blended family, but I am also praying that there will be many blessings as we rise to meet those challenges. 

May each of us meet our challenges of today head-on, and if we fail, get back up and try again.

Stalker

So, I'm usually careful but this is someone that knows me well enough to know my whereabouts and lifestyle. Lately I've been the victim of someone who has personal information of my life and is contacting me pretending to be other people - even to the extent of that person or persons setting up false Facebook and email accounts only for the purpose of contacting me to ask me out. Makes me sad because I suspect someone close to me. This person or persons is pretending to be a male but I'm fairly certain now that it is a female stalking me.  If you know me, don't you realize I'm smart enough to catch on from the beginning?  I pity you, but I'm not going to let you stop me from living my life freely and exuberantly.  I will be contacting the authorities and prosecuting you if it continues.
