So True

I am a complicated girl, but what girl isn’t?  I am a wife and mother. I don’t know if I should identify who I am through other people, but my family is very much me. Without them, I wouldn’t be me. So first and foremost, I am faithful wife who loves her husband more and more every day. Because of Jeff I am a strong woman. I have the strength and the will to pursue my dreams because I know that I have the love and support required to do so. My children taught me all about unconditional love and because of them I can cry on whim and laugh at the smallest things. They taught me to dance like no one is watching, laughter can cure anything- much like a Band-Aid, and how something as simple as reading a bed-time story can be so significant and special.

I know how to laugh at myself- I do this often. I make mistakes and I am totally okay with that. I know I am human and I know that I will fall flat on my face sometimes, not only because I am clumsy, but because everyone occasionally does. But I also know how to pick myself up and start moving again. I will never stop moving toward something I want. Once I achieve one of my goals, I make new goals. I will never stop learning, progressing, growing. Change is not only refreshing to me, it is necessary.

I am completely stubborn. My grandma always used to tell me that she never had to worry about me growing up, if I said I wasn’t going to do something, no one was going to talk me into it. She was right. If someone tells me I can’t do something, I have the irrepressible urge to prove them wrong. Anyone can do anything they put their minds to; no one is going to tell me I can’t do something. If they tell me I shouldn’t, I might listen.

I love the smell of new rain, fresh cut grass, my grandma’s baking, and my children after they’ve had a bath. I love the sound of ocean, my children’s laughter, my husband’s voice in my ear and the pitter patter of little feet coming down the hall. I love the feel of my husband’s kisses, my daughter’s squeezes, my son’s hand’s in my hair and my camera in my hands. I love my life and who I am.
