ME

I Strive to be the Man My Dog Thinks I Am..........Hmmmmmmmm.  I catch myself thinking, I Strive to be the Man My Friends And Family Think I Am.

Some people see this world through Rose Colored Glasses.  I guess I've been looking at it lately through Shaded Glasses.  When I look at myself I usually see the Bad before I see the Good.  I expect more from me and it seems that people see more than I expect.

I suppose we all are harder on ourselves at times.  We know who we are......Really Who We Are.....both the Good and the Bad.  I do forget at times that I AM HUMAN.....and with that comes a multitude of characteristics, some of them definitely Flawed...but that's why they call it HUMAN.  As I strive to be the man I think everyone wants me to be I have to be reminded that I don't have a Giant S on my chest.  I'm not Superman (Thanks Lin for Reminding Me and Being That Friend).  The only one I am really accountable to is GOD and ME.  I don't have to live up to other's expectations, I only have to be the Best That I Can Be and as long as God and I are in a good place then I know I'm on the right track.

It seems like I'm using the ME word a lot and for Me.....that's uncomfortable.  So many times I've been put in the Caretaker roll and have not had much time to worry about ME.  It feels awkward instead of natural and that's not a good thing.

Soooooo....Maybe....I'll learn to quit being so hard on myself.  Maybe....I'll learn to relax and enjoy life more. Maybe....I'll realize I'm not a bad guy after all.  Maybe....Just Maybe....I'll realize I'M HUMAN.
