I’ve got more layers than an onion, baby!

One of the gifts I received that surprised me the most was the new Charles Schulz biography.  It was something that I really wanted, but as of recent weeks had totally forgotten about it.

I didn’t get through the preface and I learned a very important thing about myself. 

Schulz would always tell people that he was a very simple, down to Earth man when in fact he was complex, moody and sometimes hard to relate to.  I had no other choice to but to measure this up against my own life. 

For years, I have been telling people that I am simple, to the point and that I wear my heart my sleeve.  Reality has set in and I’ve come to realize that this is far from the truth.  I am very complex and when I think that people know me I tend to change gears and head another direction.  I tend to sabotage relationships with close friends and I have mood swings more frequent then a busy childhood playground. 

Why does this all happen?  I have no idea.  It’s just something that I have to figure out..

***NEWS FLASH***

On a positive front, it looks like Mo will NOT need surgery for now.  The doctor says that she has something wonky with her left kidney, but wants to see if it will correct itself.  I’m very relieved because Lord knows the little girl has been through enough. 

Thanks everyone for your prayers and well wishes.  Love you all..
