I DO IT MY WAY!

I've gotten quite a few e-mails from readers who comment on my blog; most of them are complimentary (thank you) and some of them have complaints; They write that my posts are too cutesy, my posts are too sad, my posts are too happy and la di da, my posts are too goody, goody. One person noted that I should give my page "FIRE & LIGHTNING". Another is upset that I do not respond to the rude comments that some leave for one another. He says that it shows that I condone such crude conversation. ???? There is no pleasing everybody, and furthermore this blog was started by me in order to express my feelings, my views on life, and for a place to vent and get feedback. Enjoy!

THIS IS MY BLOG AND THESE ARE MY FEELINGS;
I DO IT MY WAY
And now - in case you care,
From some of you, I have been hurtin'
Friends and bloggers, I'll say it clear
I'll state my case, of which I'm certain.

I blog my thoughts on life
I try to explore each and every highway
Against all odds, and from my heart,
I do it my way

Criticisms, I have a few
But then again, too few to mention.
I write from my point of view
And I see it through without exemption

I planned each charted course
Each careful step along the byway
But more, much more than this,
I do it my way

There are times, I'm sure you know,
When my subjects caused quite a row.
But through it all, when there is doubt;
I read it through and kicked it out.
I face it all and I stand tall;
And I do it MY way!

I write, I read, I have a laugh,
I've had my fill with those who quibble.
My style won't change - not by half,
My thoughts on life, I continue to scribble....

To think I do all that,
And may I say - not in a shy way,
No, oh no, not me,
I do it my way!

For what is a person, what has he got?
If not himself, then he has naught.
To say the things he truly feels;
And not the words of one who kneels
Let the records show - I take the blows
And I do it MY way!

Each blog should be unique in its individualism. Don't worry what other think about it. For "some" reason, they all keep coming back. Thus, you must be doing SOMETHING right. And besides, many a good blog is at least somewhat controversial....

Elster,
Thank you SO much. One of my problems is that I try to please everyone......not always a good thing. I should have more faith in my creativity and to remember the quote "This above all, to thine own self be true"

MG, you're so creative, witty and talented in writing! It's so impressive. Don't worry about the handful of critics. Bet that's the only thing they CAN do - i.e., criticize.

Thanks for writing about such provocative topics, that others might be too shy to bring up.
