You are about to read a personal journal. It represents only my views and opinions as seen from my perspective. Though I have been as honest and truthful as is possible for me to be, I can not know the thoughts and feelings of others or the whole truth of any matter— nor is it right to reveal publicly that which may be hurtful to others. If I speculate in these pages, please remember that I may be wrong. The way I see things can never be the same way others see them. I can only speak for myself. Each entry represents only what I was experiencing, thinking, and feeling at the time the entry was written. What I think is true today, may not be true for me tomorrow. Things change. Please keep all this in mind as you read. Thank you. |
