I've been playing around trying to get it, my personal blog and my painting blog to look enough alike so as not to shock the pants off someone who is surfing between them and my web. I don't know if that even matters. LOL <BR/><BR/>I'm still thinking about truth and why it is that I resist so. I agree with you Annette and Joni. It's a difficult topic for me. I think I might even lie to myself at times. I, like you Annette, do try to tell the truth all the time. My mind is not smart enough to cover up lies... that is, unless I'm just dealing with myself. I'm easy to fool.Phyllis Russell Franklinhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06545981965737938065noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4902772127612703887.post-80359131159178853312008-03-02T13:53:00.000-05:002008-03-02T13:53:00.000-05:00I wrestle with this also Phyllis.Is it that we do ...I wrestle with this also Phyllis.<BR/>Is it that we do not want to face the truth, because we DO know what that truth is...or that we do not want to sacrifice what might make us less comfortable than what we are accustomed to? Surrendering to the truth requires discipline and being real and not losing our focus...it is very difficult, but I dance around this area knowing that I would rather be part of the song...I think we need to learn to not pull punches with ourselves.<BR/>I know I need to do certain things...but "knowing" isn't going to be enough...<BR/>thanks Phyllis, you've inspired my walk today :)<BR/><BR/>hugs,<BR/>Joni<BR/><BR/>p.s.

Why is the truth so hard to say no ...Good morning!! Why is the truth so hard to say no matter what it is, when people ask for it even, it's still hard to admit too, I try to be as truthful as I can all the time, I think I am afraid of hurting people, or I dont want them to de disaponted in me. Excellent post today. Have a great Sunday!!Annettehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11248700489568481970noreply@blogger.com
