This is WHY I am NOT canceling my blog!!!

I have been going back n fourth on continuing my blog...as I really have been struggling keeping up on it....you can only write about "SHIT" so many times!! I am not that "happy" "go-lucky" type of girl at the moment that I usually like to be...so the blog has suffered!!! I remember the first time I really started my blog and that was after reading Bree's she was SO honest and pored her heart out there..I even cried and could not believe how a complete stranger could have this effect on me....She was talking about when she first become a mother and how she struggled and not "really" wanting to be a Mom and how she did not feel the instant bond as first time mothers do...she put it all out there with her struggle......I could relate to what she was saying... as I was not so thrilled when I was pregnant with my third child...So from reading Bree's blog and able to relate with her... I felt an instant bond with her and she was my first commenter on my new blog:) Bree to this day is one of my favs:) I learn so much from her!!

I have made some AWESOME friends just from blogland...some I have meet in person and others I have talked to through email or on phone/text...sometimes I feel like you know me better than I know myself!!

To be honest, sometimes I think the blog is quite silly...as I have read some blogs where their life's seem so perfect without any drama or curve balls and honestly, I call that a "fake" blog and never go back to theirs....I don't believe in a "perfect" life....I like blogs that are honest and has struggles so I can relate/learn from and know that I am not alone.....Grantet...I know some things should be left private....trust me there are so many things I would love to write about just to get off my chest....but if it is going to damage someone else, I am not about that!!

The purpose of this post is to say THANK YOU to certain bloggers (you know who you are) I truly love you guys:) and appreciate you!!

This is an example on how awesome blogland can be and WHY I am not going to cancel my blog....I was having a "not so good day" and certain bloggers sense when I am down....and message me......I feel the need to share this with everyone (I hope you don't mind Chell) I talked to Chelley(who is amazing:) earlier on the phone and was trying really hard to be OK and be my funny self...but she sensed differently...here is her message:

Mel,

sometimes I just think a person needs to hear how great someone else thinks they are. Well, I think you are an amazing person and these are some of the reasons:

1. You are an awesome Mom who sets such high standards for people like me to look up to!

2. You would do anything for your children. They are very lucky to have you, a mom that has such devotion to each of them.

3. You are ROCKIN beautiful! Hello, duh I will never look as good as you! ( No matter how much weight I lose!)

4. You are an athlete that just has the natural ability. Others have to work much harder at it and you make it look effortless.

Melissa Crandell, you deserve the best in life. I am so proud to be able to call you my friend!

talk to you later,

Chelley
