After posting my bucket list yesterday I got to thinking, can I handle the judgement? Especially from people I know. There is going to be someone out there to make fun or think I am silly or strange or just plain boring in my choices.
To be honest. I don't care and I am kind of boring.
It's my bucket and my blog. I am not into blogging for celebrity status or to see how many followers I can get. I am like many others that blog because they enjoy it.
One of my favorite things is finding a little blog with maybe five or so followers and discovering it's a GEM or I relate to the writer. Nothing better than making that connection. Right now I am on the search for more Canadian Mom Bloggers so if you have any links you would like to share please let me know.
Getting back to my feeeeeellliiinnggs.
My emotions are stronger than my common sense on most days. Though I do try to hold back I usually fail and a big bubble of feeeelllliinnnggss will pop on whoever is near. Not good! But real in so many ways. I am real, I am not pink fluff in way. I'm honest. I have been told I'm too honest and say things people are not ready to hear. Maybe I should become a Therapist? NO! I just need to learn when keeping my mouth shut is a good idea.
So let's go further on keeping the mouth shut except not just with me. Why do people find such enjoyment mocking other people's passions and likes? It disturbs me greatly.
I am a simple gal wanting to enjoy simple things. I am at a point in my life where I can see some breaks from parenting happening and my husband and I can do the trips we have always wanted to enjoy. I'm planning that's all.
Some may like to write bucket lists and thoughts/opinions in a private journal. I like to strike up a conversation and this is one way I do that. Put out my likes or opinions and go from there. You can agree or disagree that's okay but just do not mock me.

I can totally relate!! Many times I am about to post something on my blog, and re-think it because I don't know if I really want to put it all out there. Sometimes, I wonder why I blog at all, but then I remember how much I love to write, and how sometimes, writing it out helps me think it through better.
After a cost break down post, once I had someone comment and basically call me a liar over the numbers I used for an item. I was so upset. It really hurt, because all the hits for that day were from people I know personally, and I felt like if they wondered about how I got a number they could have asked, instead of being hurtful. And they could have left their name, instead of hiding behind the "anonymous" comment feature. It hurts when you take the risk of being real and people hurt you, but you need to be true to yourself! You're doing an awesome thing Bonnie, and in the end, you need to keep being yourself no matter what anyone else has to say about it.
By the way, I thought your list was awesome, and one day I too want to shoot something with the rifle! Just think, we could have girl's hunting camp together!!
I'm a Canadian mom blogger.... but I don't live in Canada right now.
Just found yours! I appreciate honesty.
