1 year anniversary

Today is the 1 year anniversary of me starting my blogger.

It seems truly amazing to me that I have been keeping up with this for a year. I am amazed I did not let it go by the side. I told Kam that this morning and he said he was not surprised, as I am a different woman then I was even 3 years ago.

I created the danae whispering name last year just days before I started the blogger. The name Danae, I got from a favorite painting of mine by Klimt. Last year at this time I also did a search on what the name Danae meant.

And here is what it came up with.....

The name of Danae gives you a clever, quick, analytical mind, but you suffer with a great deal of self-consciousness, lack of confidence, and much aloneness because of misunderstandings. Your idealistic and sensitive nature gives you a deep appreciation for the finer things of life and a strong desire to be of service to humanity. There are times when you experience inner turbulence at your inability to say what you mean. It is far easier for you to express your deeper thoughts and feelings through writing than verbally. You find pleasure in literature, in poetry, and in your ideals and will turn to them when you feel you have been misunderstood. You are deeply moved by the beauties of life, especially nature. Because your feelings run deep, you must guard against the ups and downs, being very inspired one minute, then moody, reserved, and depressed the next. Your reactions to people vary according to how you feel. You tend to be secretive and noncommittal about private matters, yet at times you will talk effusively in order to hide your self-consciousness or to lead others away from personal subjects. You are inspired by encouragement from others, yet suspicious of their intent. You crave affection but seldom find anyone who understands your nature. Physical weaknesses would show in your heart, lungs, or bronchial organs.

I remember reading that a year ago and thinking wow that "was" me. And now I read it and think wow it "is" me. But it is me in a different way then thought. I read this description last year and thought wow she is "depressing" person. But now I read it and think no...there are things in it I do not like....where is says I lack confidence but I do. The thing is even though I do not have that totally tackled yet. I am so much further now then I was a year ago. And that is what is important. I am changing and growing as a person...becoming a better me.

I am independent, strong and opinionated and I am also dependent, timid and searching for a way. I am the Libra scale trying to find my middle ground but never really wanting too...... I am a very intense and emotional person and reacting on those emotions is not a bad thing. It is what makes me real and what makes me react to people and things. It is who I am.....just me.

peace,
danae
