Today is one of those days when I sat down in front of my blog and just didn't know what I wanted to say...so I started searching for a photo that evoked something in me. I saw this one and knew this was it. We just went to see our dear Jenna in a show this weekend...playing a nerdy character, Logainne. Jenna has been sort of an adopted part of our family for many years...certainly she owns real estate in my heart. Her family are like family to us. And when these three get together.....oh boy, watch out!! They have had themed sleepovers....I remember and have photos of a princess sleepover...and this was the nerd sleepover. Do other young women do this? Have sleepovers and dress up in character? Well these three do. They are all....each of them, in their own special way.....one of a kind, uniquely themselves....originals! I love that. They are truly themselves, and haven't let peer pressure try to bend them into someone else. They aren't really follow-the-crowd kind of girls. They lead...and if no crowd follows....oh well, they don't care. I love it that they still love each other, are still in touch...even though life takes them to different places...and down different paths. I pray that they will always be able to share their beautiful individuality with the world.....and with each other.
"To be nobody-but-yourself -- in a world which is doing its best night and day, to make you everybody else -- means to fight the hardest battle which any human being can fight; and never stop fighting."
