Personal Thoughts at 4 a.m.

 

People fear change. People fear that which is strange and different than they are. People fear the unknown.

Personally, I have shied away from change. The way I was brought up is far different than most, different than the area I live in and different than typical people my own age. 

I used to hate my mom for bringing me up that way. Not anymore though, what she taught me was priceless. 

She raised me to think for myself, research and ask questions. She encouraged my curiosity. She acted aloof most of the time, but now I know she had been watching. 

She taught me common sense and to realize common sense isn't so common anymore. 

She taught me more than I could ever commit to pages on a blog. 

One of the most important things she taught me was "waste not, want not". I have never felt the truth in those words more than I do today with everything happening in our society. 

With that I am heading back to bed to grab a few hours of sleep. More when I get back up!
