Some Mid-Thirties Introspection

Happiness does not depend on outward things, but on the way we see them. ~Leo Tolstoy

I'm always telling my children, "It's not about you!", and here I go doing a post all about me. However, in my mid thirties, this is what I know about me...

I am me a child of God, imperfect though I am

I live to love God and my family

I love myself so that I can love my family

I think in very black and white terms (not always a good thing)

I seek truth and honesty above all else

I struggle with being who I really am

I strive continually to better myself

I wear my emotions on my sleeve

I analyse things way too much

I grow from experience

I learn through my children

I seek validation from those I am closest to

I appreciate a good laugh that isn't at someone else's expense

I value the peace and quiet of solitude

I enjoy the simple things in life

I revel in the mundane

I give myself fully to my passions

I try to keep my home a place of welcome

I read ALOT

I dance in my mind

I like to look at life through a camera lens

I write where I can fit it in

I thank God for blessing me with this life

I am simply...ME!

Let success be measured by the happiness in your heart!
