The truth is...

The truth is, I love to write.  I look forward to it all the time. 

The truth is, it still amazes me anytime someone wants to read what I write.  And they like it.

The truth is, I want to get paid to write.

The truth is, sometimes I write from a brutally honest perspective.  And people may not like it. 

The truth is, I want to get paid for some sort of fitness industry related "thing."  

The truth is, as much as I work out I am still really self-conscious. 

The truth is, sometimes it is hard for me to focus on the amazing things I have achieved and not be hard on myself for other things. 

The truth is, my elderly dog is a lot of work but he is worth it. 

The truth is, I don't know how I will handle it when he goes. 

The truth is, things on the outside aren't always as they appear.  For example, the guy who mows my lawn thinks I am rich.  Ha...do I have him fooled. 

The truth is, sometimes I get down and have to figure out what the true source is. 

The truth is, sometimes I look at my life and think "wow I did good for a teen mom." 

The truth is, my kids friends think I am pretty cool.

The truth is, as much as my kid can drive me nuts I will probably hate it when she moves out. 

The truth is, if I could go back and be as honest with people years ago as I have the nerve to be now I wonder how life would be different. 

The truth is, I absolutely hate to cry in front of my mom.  I have done it very rarely. 

The truth is, now that I think about it I mostly have just cried in front of my dogs. 

The truth is, I hate the holiday season. November and December I can totally skip.

The truth is, I have some weird issue where my arms can make awesome farting noises on their own. And heaven forbid it happen at the gym in front of a cute guy.  

The truth is, Hawaii in 21 days doesn't even seem real. 

The truth is, there are a lot of truths about me I won't share.  But those are a few.

Speaking of Hawaii...here is my new book stash for the trip.  I am excited to read these.  I will have plenty of airport and airplane time so taking four is not unreasonable.  At least, I think that's a true statement.
