happy…

to be me.

i think that is my mantra right now. (as you can see by the new banner)
i was trying to think of something to put on the banner and this thought kept coming to mind. after posting it last night, i asked jeff if it sounded weird. he quickly responded, “no way! i’m so glad to finally hear those words from you!”

i am a woman. and i will admit that at times it’s hard to be a woman. trying to get past that constant critic in my head that tells me i’m not good enough or i can’t measure up to the responsibilities or i am dropping so many balls around me. sometimes i feel like there is serious warfare going on inside my mind and that i would need heavy artillery to even step inside.

the goal is to step back and realize what i like about me. what makes me happy about being me?
qualities, habits, attributes, etc.

today, let’s see…
i like the ablility i have to sense other’s needs. not that i have mental telepathy or anything. but i can generally clue in if someone needs a hand, a friend, or a hug. see? i feel better about myself already. this is good stuff! 🙂

so, what makes you happy to be you today?
