Why start off with a negative statement the first time she meets someone? How about a smile and maybe some positive words about her new community? She sounds like her own worst enemy.

That is ok....it is their mistake. Just because I was not born & raised here, doesn't mean I don't love living here. Just because I have tattoo's doesn't define who I am as a person inside.<br /><br />The perks....everyone knows everyone & who they belong too. I don't worry about my children getting into trouble here so much as I did in the city. The schools are great, the extra curricular events are spectacular, and as a community we HELP eachother, whoever may need it. <br /><br />I myself go to church, a southern, separate baptist church...and I didn't know a soul there, and grew up in the Catholic church. I could NEVER EVER ask for better friends/family then each one there. I too sit in the 2nd row, sometimes with my children, sometimes without. Sometimes with my husband, sometimes without. But these are the people that pray, love & support me, my family, eachother and our community without question. <br /><br />I totally agree with you Heather....define me (well you)<br /><br />much love-moshell's lilbit of spacehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12704725032676443762noreply@blogger.com
