It occurred to me that I need to create a blogg too. I've learned about twitter and continue to absorb it's culture. I helped raise $2,200 on twitter this week for the American Red Cross, I keep up with family and friends worldwide using Facebook, and next will be learning Blog. It is not what is difficult, it is taking the first step to do, to act...

"But" has always been one of those words that irk me! I've always considered that whatever anyone says before the word 'but' is completely negated by what they've said afterwards. For instance: "I'm really sorry about offending you, BUT it really couldn't be helped as you offended me first". "But" is used as a justification to negate or dilute what has just been said. "You're so pretty, BUT you could do with a little less eyeshadow." Your "ya but" statements are the same --- "Yes I hear what you're saying, BUT I'm going to discard your advice because it doesn't suit me, or I can't be bothered, or whatever excuse I can make up because I'm not comfortable doing anything different". That 'BUT' word is a "take away" word because what ever anyone has said before it, doesn't count after the "but" kicks in! So true Dawn. “But” has always been one of those words that irk me!

Excuses are no one's friend. I get as much benefit writing about the roadblocks I throw up in my own way, as hopefully, readers get from seeing they're not alone. Seriously, if we talked to others like we talk to ourselves, we wouldn't have any friends. And our friends would "call us" on all this excuse making too. Time to change the internal sentences. Thanks Miriam!

Acknowledging "it's" there is, as Heather said, half the battle. Once admitting the crazy things we say to ourselves, the better chance we have of overcoming the obstacles. You're right. It is a lifelong journey. I’ve always said, the most difficult person to move out of the way is me. Acknowledging “it’s” there is, as Heather said, half the battle.
