Thanks for the love
I want to take a moment to say thank you to all of you who have left kind words on this site. My husband started this page for me, so that I could share my passion for food with others. I am a 4th grade teacher for a living, but right now I’m a stay at home mom since I just had our second child 5 months ago. So this blog has been a lot of fun to pour myself into, but something happened last week that just about had me ready to throw in the towel.
Since I’ve started this site, I’ve been feeling less and less adequate to write for it. I mean I’m just a wife and mother and teacher. I have no formal, culinary training. I pretty much taught myself how to cook by watching the food network! So when I read blogs from real chefs who cook “fancy” food, I feel way inadequate.
To make matters worse, I had a bit of an altercation with a rather outspoken individual who was offended by my meatloaf. I guess the individual felt that it was an arrogant recipe, go figure! And after reading the comment, initially I felt perplexed which quickly grew to anger which quickly fizzled to saddened frustration. To understand my progression of feelings you have to know a little something about me.
I’m the middle child of 3 daughters. I’m shy when I first meet people, though I warm up very quickly. And most importantly I HATE confrontation!!! So here I am sitting at my computer, reading rather hostile words through teary eyes, and I just wanted to quit. But then I read your words. Beautiful words of love and understanding, words of healing and recovery, words of encouragement, and words of laughter. And I decided to cling to those words, and let go of the others.
So I would just like to thank you. From the bottom of my heart, thank you. And I hope that God blesses each and everyone of you in every aspect of your lives.
So now to anyone out there who wants to say mean or ugly things on this website. I’m telling politely, DON’T! This site is meant to be uplifting and encouraging to all who read it. So if you find something I’ve written offensive or arrogant (which baffles me to think that it could be), please feel free to tell me in a kind way, and I will try to rectify the problem. Because I assure you, I have no intention of being offensive, and I can’t say that I’ve ever been called arrogant before the comment about my meatloaf!
With that said, I leave you with this: Eat! Sleep! and be Merry! For tomorrow, we LIVE!
