...I WILL CHANGE!!!

So, here I am... I made the long haul to Kansas City, MO...and I did it all by myself! At the advice of a friend, I went to my local library, got a couple of audio books and headed South! It was actually a rather soothing time. A.L.O.N.E. I can't remember when I actually TOOK time alone, and focused... just to do something for ME. It was very nice.

I had taken an "evaluation quiz" online at one point...to see "where I fit best" or what would be my best "career move"... and it has me thinking, about change. Change that I need to make in my own life. About how other people must "read" me when I make comments and such. I don't like what I have realized. I am so negative and hard on MYSELF. I almost INSTANTLY "hear" the negative in any remark, comment or advise given to me. So, I am changing. I WILL CHANGE!!! I am working on it. I've posted the link to the quiz, if you wish to take it. Here are MY results:
