I am not sure anyone is ...You are never a failure. I am not sure anyone is ever a failure unles they literally just give up and lie down and die.<br /><br />We all have these moments and som more than other. The one thing that makes you and those that think like you is that...you want change for better, whereas most people don't believe in being better, they settle for just being mediocre.<br /><br />You inspire me ...you always have..and even when you question yourself...you still do.<br />Never stop growing.Blah Blah Blahhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07551608249012287650noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2890103892896813737.post-7314354864300809132009-07-02T09:12:11.125-04:002009-07-02T09:12:11.125-04:00You spoke about the writing submissions and the re...You spoke about the writing submissions and the rejections and how you feel like a failure. God gives us all gifts and one of yours is writing. I think he blessed me with the same gift and yet I have tons of stories that I have started on my computer and yet never finished. The one thing I admire about writers like yourself is that you have published a book. Do you know what that means? That means when Chele dies and leaves the earth, nobody can take away your work. People will go to libraries and your book, your words, your thoughts will ALWAYS be here. Do you know how great that is? Imagine your grandchildren and great grandchildren being able to say their grandmother was an author and they can read your words?! That's not something to sneeze at.Serenity3-0https://www.blogger.com/profile/08002713490128899754noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2890103892896813737.post-76915863129187514612009-07-01T21:34:37.884-04:002009-07-01T21:34:37.884-04:00I've been thinking about this post for the pas...I've been thinking about this post for the past 2 days, and will probably mention it in tomorrow's post...<br /><br />Chele, you are never average... God expresses a dimension of his personality through you that has never been expressed through anyone else. That in itself makes you exceptional... <br /><br />You said in your first paragraph:<br /><br /><i>"...I want to do better. I want to be better."</i> <br /><br />I learned from you to change that to...<br /><br /><i>"...I will do better. I will be better."</i> <br /><br />Each day, you get closer to whatever <i>better</i> is. Really.<br /><br />And your mere thoughts and self assessment here prove it all the more.LadyLeehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14895667783148669410noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2890103892896813737.post-17810456154090779132009-07-01T16:22:00.046-04:002009-07-01T16:22:00.046-04:00Thanks girl.

Failing would have been you NOT being able to raise your 2 children alone; being able to be in a functional and loving relationship again; being able to hold down a steady job. I think that's admirable and certainly applaudable. <br /><br />We all have moments like this and it's okay. God makes NO mistakes and your time will come when it's ordained to be revealed.<br /><br />Please keep on seeing the forest for the trees. I've never said it before, but I truly do admire you and you're one of the women in the bloggersphere that I defer to in my mind on ways to improve my own life.<br /><br />Stay up virtual friend; stay up.<br /><br />Love to live; live to love!Blu Jewelhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09850562981453356321noreply@blogger.com
