one of the advantages of blogging is that there’s only my side of the story to tell. it’s like being called to the witness stand and not being cross-examined.
i would hope that as a fairly confident person and one who desires to learn and do better (even if i have issues with shame) that i don’t always make it seem like i was the better person in altercations and everyday situations.
while tess 2007 is a far superior model than say tess 1995, there are still so many improvements to be made. i try too hard at times to make things happen, if someone i love has been hurt i find it tough to forgive, i can be overly sensitive. all very bad things that i try to recognise and keep perspective of. things God is helping me with when i’m not being a stubborn cow and not keeping Him in the loop. i don’t like these aspects about myself any more than you do. believe me. i’m trying.
conquering something that has held you back is difficult.
recognising that you are no longer bound by that damaged emotion or way of being is amazing.
so roll on 2008.
i think this serves as my new years post.
ps i scored a huge win on ebay today. more to come.

No no no – this does not get you out of posting for the next four days.
You mentioned the absence of a cross examination but then proceeded to overlook the absence of an impartial judge. i arrived at a much gentler verdict.
Love to all….Dad
I don’t know you of course but my impression from the privilege of sharing in your life via blogland…
Tess is kind, very strong, independent, moral, Godly, passionate about her kids, intelligent and grown up. Oh, and a good friend to my sister which scores you the most points.
