One Word
Jenny from Denton Sanatorium challenged her readers to describe themselves with one word, a la Eat, Love, Pray. I have had a few days to wrestle with this one. Of course during those few days some major things took place. While Rich recovers and we wait
"Mom" came to mind. I am a mom. A mom covers many many avenues. We are doctor's, lawyers, therapists, nurses, maids, chefs, short order cooks, taxi drivers, teachers, referees, the list goes on and on. But as much as I love my kids, "Mom" does not define who I am. I am not strong, tho there are those who would say otherwise. I have had people describe me as: calm/easy-going. Well thank you, but you don't live with me. I can do a 180 in less than 5 seconds. And it ain't pretty!
So I thought of taking the easy way out...hmmm maybe "cheater" would be my word then. I asked Rich. First he asks, "Is this for a blog?" And that response is another blog in and of itself! After some consideration he told me, "faithful" described me. It covered a lot of things. I thought of Old Faithful in Yellowstone. What an awesome piece of nature. I said, "Loyal" I am confident in that word. It suits me...but then later that day as I sat on the floor at the top of the stairs....waiting for my son to do his business as mothers do...the word that is me in a nutshell came to me. It was spot on.
Dreamer
I am indeed a dreamer. My parents both say, "dreams are free." I love to dream and pretend. I love to dream up my next blog. I love to dream how my kids will turn out. I love to dream about days past when I was a kid laying in the grass staring at the sky. Dreams are where we begin things that are yet to be. Dreams are places we visit when we just want to check out for a minute or three. I am a dreamer. There are other dreamers. Walt Disney was a dreamer. JK Rowling is a dreamer. Thomas Edison was a dreamer. Without these dreamers where would we be? I am a dreamer.
What is your word?
Comments
I like that description. It is kind of all encompassing. Dreamers almost always equate to creative minds. As a teacher, I appreciate that.
I loved this challenge. Hope you did too!

But you're not! Happy Birthday, Lourie!!!!!
