I seem to prove daily that I'm not done learning.<br />I cannot imagine you not baking cookies. Then again you do the expert <br />cooking which I would love to feel comfortable doing. Takes time, practice and patience.<br />I cherish your thoughts and kindness.<br /><br />Meanwhile I'm checking on that cinnamon ornament recipe... not sure what I missed. It will be back soon! :))<br />Dixie@dcreliefhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11558671709412200904noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8169296047258820802.post-35897815357879086362014-12-03T21:28:54.925-05:002014-12-03T21:28:54.925-05:00Life is too short to worry about other people'...Life is too short to worry about other people's narrow opinions. Don't stop writing your blog because someone criticises you. You can't please all of the people etc. etc. I had a Christmas cookie today at exercise class. I am now thinking perhaps I should buy some to share, I don't bake them. Never have.Johttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14087140585742801854noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8169296047258820802.post-67549044652235344932014-12-03T21:02:16.737-05:002014-12-03T21:02:16.737-05:00Hi Robin. I don't mean to sound cryptic... but...Hi Robin. I don't mean to sound cryptic... but yes, you're absolutely right. My head got spun around and I thought maybe I needed to get away. But it's like falling off a bike - get right back on and go harder. I gave up on the brothers Grimm - nothing came of it - but why give up again - why not keep going! Can't please 'em all.<br />Thanks for trying to decipher and those words of encouragement.Dixie@dcreliefhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11558671709412200904noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8169296047258820802.post-8780815403339369192014-12-03T20:32:16.141-05:002014-12-03T20:32:16.141-05:00Mine too!! :))Mine too!! :))Dixie@dcreliefhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11558671709412200904noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8169296047258820802.post-19698035042261962062014-12-03T20:31:37.548-05:002014-12-03T20:31:37.548-05:00Sounds good to me - I've got cookies to bake. ...Sounds good to me - I've got cookies to bake.

Did you think about quitting this blog because you were getting a reaction you didn't like from someone? Well... I guess my feelings on that are this: we can only be ourselves. Now, we can be the best variation of ourselves (as evidenced by your Christmas story). But still... only ourselves. Since this is your space, own it. Don't allow others to dictate your content. Write what you want to write because you want to write it. Or don't write if you don't feel like it. The best part of this business is we all make our own rules. It's a relief that we get ONE place where we do:)Robinhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14932408372240147454noreply@blogger.com
