"Do Your Best!"

My mother's mantra pounding in my ears is still, "Do your best." Are all mothers like that? She knew if I just tried, I would succeed. Here I am trying something new, and I still hear her voice urging me on. Blogging is writing. I have wanted to be a writer as long as I can remember, but I didn't think I was good enough. I have submitted pieces for publication, but received little encouragement. Here I am writig for public consumpton. What'd you know? I made it!
