*Footnote #2

Does anyone see the wasted potential here? ...

What I could have been?

I sometimes feel as if all this greatness is inside of me and never got the chance to shine.....Like I was this grand specimen of a seed planted....... Then never cared for.....And left unattended......Grew into a weed.

Suppose I had been loved...Suppose I had been nurtured ....Suppose if nothing else I had the chance to be educated in the normal way...Instead of just streetwise.

What great things I could have done......

Instead, in the shelter of being anonymous..........

I write and hope that if I can't shine....
I can at least sparkle....... So that someone else can see.

Remember that it is never too late to do those great things and be the person that you want to be. You are an intelligent, insightful person who has been through too much--and can now use that as a stepping stone to a better life. Otherwise, all those horrible people in your past will have WON! Don't let that happen.

PIRATE:Thank you so very much.I've been reading your blog and I like you and your family as well. :)and about your book...you will write it just fine in your own style. :)

Margaret: Thank you for your encouraging words. :) I sense that you feel sad for me...please don't...I turned out ok...I just need to get my message out there and making people sad would defeat my purpose. I just want to make people feel.
