eah! You're BACK! As always I'm happy to see YOU return for more of my colorfilled? fun? I was hoping my smiles & rainbows didn't scare you away - It being a bit much. Cant help it -seriously- I cant It's just me and my True-Colors at their worst (umm best - maybe? - I dunno) *shrugs*

hat is ONE thing I always try to do - even though it's not always the best thing (at the time) Is be myself, often at the risk of being taken the wrong way or misconstrued. I let my True-Colors 'shine' or fail trying to. And I know not everyone 'gets' me ... or even LIKES me But when it's all said and done: It's YOU who has to look in the mirror and to truely be liked - for WHO you are, (You are only like as much as you like yourself) You have to be yourself - You are only fooling yourself and that never works for you - let alone the public - and never those close to you.

y notion has been to be who you are and show your True-Colors and if you do and they STAY even though the ugly colors ... then people still around genuienly want to be their because of your True-Colors and not any facade. I genuinely like people who are themselves not only because they're of being genuine, but because I feel I can trust them - For acting like someone you're not is just laying a false bottom on the foundation of your friendship - one that will never stand the test of time. Which brings me to:

ny part of your personality - that you fear showing people

ven the most forthright and confident people are somewhat unconfortable showing their True-Colors at first.I mean, Most polite society puts on their best at first, That's only to be expected (if your civil minded) But I'm looking past the 'up front' guise one of the last things you reveal (if at all) I'm not searching for embarrassing or traumatic either - The 'thing' that often after you reveal it, wasnt taken as bad as you thought ... I mean it's embarrassing to tell new friends that I have bipolar disorder - I always fear that it will (and it has) chase people away ...

ut that works for the best ... I found being upfront about it is significant to any growth - and saves time & heartaches I mean if you understand it and are aware then there are no surprises down the road I rather have a 'deal breaker' happen early.

o need to go medical for sake of my blog, but you may have a quirk of sorts? Perhaps just a silly birthmark or 6 toes (on one foot) No pressure to toss it out for the world to see (well the 6-7 people who read this) but if you feel like letting it off your chest to "sit yourself free" and let it out! or dare I say: show me your - True-Colors Feel free to post it here - I also have a mailbox :)

oday's comment has been run one other time somewhere around Thanksgiving. I've used the graphics for other greetings too. All the graphic are from the net (sorry nothing original on this one) unless you count my format & idea to put all them together as one?

ideo is Cyndi Lauper's - True-Colors from 1986 ut-oh another 80's song ... theme week? I think Lauper's voice range is phenomenal and songs were a lot of fun for the times. Perfect 1980's pop star, (with her True-Colors shining threw) I think that with her talent though she could of made it in any of the ~~rock~~ (strike that) MUSIC era. Just too bad she got pigeon holed and then when the music scene went a different way.

hat's it for today my friends I hope you enjoyed your tour of my True-Colors and know that youre always welcome to come back ... lurk, comment or just to see the Pretty - Colors I leave you now with today's comment:
