Its funny that the blog is named this, because I am sure that most of you have had blackheads on your nose, as this is the most common area for annoying blackheads.  Well you guessed it, as I arose this morning I looked straight in the mirror only to see a blackhead that has given me trouble in the past reappearing.  This truly was a morning to remember, for no matter how I tried, I couldn’t get rid of the annoying blemish.  I was so embarrassed too because I recently started a new job, and it seems that I won’t be able to impress my fellow colleagues with my skin blemishes.  It is amazing just how one skin blemish can make me feel so self-conscious!  

So it is with life though, just when I was thinking I needed to make a post on the blog, I get an experience (in the form of a blackhead on my nose) that propels me to write.  It seems like we are all that way, and it helped me to realize that I need to take care of myself even when it seems inconvenient or futile.  I would have done anything this morning to have traded my blackhead on my nose, for a less conspicuous place.
