A Peck of Gold

Sharpening Stones

I'm too complicated. I even exhaust myself sometimes, and I'm sure the rest of you wonder about me, too on occasion. I just would like to say, I'm truly sorry if any of you were disappointed in me for writing that last bit. I won't delete it, because that's part of the process, and it's a testament to the fact that we as humans aren't perfect. That I am not perfect. You take the good with the bad, and the consequences that go along with both. I struggle with myself, and I've chosen to do that publicly, here. If I only ever post the positive, the uplifting, then it's not genuine. I cannot erase my vices and highlight my virtues, or I will be presenting a lie to you.

I can, however, seek to become a better person. I said in the comments section, that I am a "work in progress". Oh, how truthful that statement is. I have so far to go, so much to understand better. Each step I take closer to solid ground, the more I realize how near the edge I have trod.

I sincerely hope that in a year, in two, in ten - I can look back at the things I have written and chart my life as steps forward by their content. That is my goal here, and I hope that you will continue to forgive the stumbling I often do on that journey.
