Random thoughts on a Thursday

I've been thinking about me and about who I am, what I like to do and what makes me happy.  I guess just being introspective. 

Me?  I really like to read and write.  I like talking to people, though not necessarily in person, at least not all the time.  I like my family.  I like my friends.  I like having time to myself, but not too much time.  I like helping people but I don't like giving advice unless specifically asked.  I like to think I'm pretty laid back and easy going but I do like my routines.  I tend to eat the same things over and over until I'm sick of them.  I survive on less sleep that I'd like.

I don't like shopping and I don't like spending money.  I want things but I don't like that I want them.  I don't like owning books and would rather borrow them, but love buying books for the kids.  I feel like I'm lacking in certain homemaking skills and wish my house had a more finished look.  I don't have style.

I'm not great at anything.  I'm not competitive but I do like to get things right.  I'm organized and can be a bit neurotic.  I'm learning to love my body.  I'm learning to better accept differences.

I can't sing but I love song lyrics, not that I can remember them very well.  My memory is horrible.  I can be really awkward.  I don't have a lot of close friends but I think I'm friendly.

I want to be really great at being me.  I want to be someone my kids can be proud of.  I want to do things and go places and smile.  I want to laugh and sing along to the radio.  I want to live until I'm old.  I want to be happy.

You?
