And when it feels just right, are you thinkin' of me? '
So I am not a country music fan not even a little bit. But every morning I wake up to my grams watching CMT. There is this popular song on there thats relatively new I think called who are you when I'm not looking. Granted if the song was sung by Steven Tyler or Jim Morrison I'd like it much better but it's the idea behind the song that has struck me lately.. I have thought alot about it on several different occasions and today being one of them. I know I have my little quirks and moments that no one see's so I often wonder if people really see me, if they really know who I am. And the same with others that I have the privledge of being around, I get to see them in ways that others never have and may never get to. It's the seemingly simple, silliest, and randomest things that people do that allows you to see the pure beauty that they hold. So do we really know each other, do we know how caring we are, do we know how funny, do we know how cheesy or even romantic we can be? I believe there is so much more to a person then we see. I hope that I will take more time to see the little things that make someone who they really are. Your profession nor your looks describe who you are but singing in the shower at the top of your lungs or stopping to help a young child get his ball out of the ditch does... So who are you when no ones looking? Tell me whats some things you do that no one sees? What makes you you?I'm not sure if this thought is making any sense but it is something I am so passionate about. I guess the reason would be because I've seen Caterpillars turn into butterflies right before my eyes...
BEAUTIFUL MOMENTS...BEAUTIFUL PEOPLE

This is a picture of my brother when he was about 15. Yes it looks goofy and anyone reading this that knows him may have never seen this side of him. My cousin AJ was a few months old and when she was first born she was really sick and stayed in the hospital for the first months of her life. Jason and I lived with our Grandparents after my parents got a divorce and at the time this picture was taken baby AJ and her mom was living with us while her dad was out at sea with the Navy. So AJ cried alot and was rarely comfortable. Every time Jason held her she would cry cry cry. If my gram or her mom held her 'NOTHING'. Jason really hated that he made her cry, so he figured that (ok this is going to sound funny) but he came up with the idea that it must be because he didn't have boobs and his bony chest must be uncomfortable so he put on one a bra and stuffed it with clothes.. He then picked l
ittle AJ up and she did not cry, she fell asleep in his arms. My brother is a pill for sure but what most don't see is that he has a huge heart...

Alyson Blain
One of the many beautiful sisters that I have the pleasure to go to church with. Alyson has became one of my dearest, and treasured friends. When I first met her I thought she was very shy and didn't have much to say. But I have been blessed to see her heart and to get to know her. She is the true definition of a beautiful girl, inside and out she is stunning. She is hilariously goofy, and makes me smile and laugh when ever I am around her. I love when she dances in the car lol.
My cousin Jamie (who I love and adore more then I can express), is the strongest person I know. I see her day after day fight a disease she has. I see her day after day be the best mom, teacher, wife and friend. She doesn't know how to give up or give in. Beauty radiates from her when she plays with her kids cause the love beams from her eyes. She's silly and corkey and well one of the greatest people on the planet. Her example helps me want to be a better person, and a more caring person. I've heard my grandmother pray number of nights for each one of her children, I see her day after day reading the bible.
My mom, Melissa G. Hutchinson. My mom was probably the most misunderstood and overlooked person. So many people judged her, I think I may of even been guilty of it a time of 2. But now I see and was lucky to see her for her before she passed. My mom's greatest joys in her short life was her children. We were her life and her everything. I feel her love even now. For Christmas, and other holidays even if she didn't have lots of money she would always make sure we had lots of gifts, even if they were bought at the dollar store. She loved children and children were drawn to her. I remember when I was little I loved to hear and make my mom laugh. Me, Jason and my cousins would get her laughing so much that she'd pee her pants lol..




So this made me think who I am when no one is watching. And I've decided I, like most people, when others are around are almost all smiles but every once in a while when I'm alone, I have to get it all out. And I cry. Not necessarily because I am sad, I may be crying because I am happy, but either way it helps. Then I can smile again. I love your blog! I'm glad you have one.
ReplyDeleteThis was great! Loved it! When no one is watching I hyper. Around people I tend to shy back, be quiet, but when I am alone or with people that are not "watching," people I know VERY well, I am more outgoing and hyper.
