I am copying from Anna's blog: Letgohangon. She has had pretty much one of the worst years of anyone I know and managed to find 7 great things about herself and keep going in a positive manner. And, it was a refreshing post compared to the subject of addiction. So, Thanks Anna, copying is the highest form of flattery .. right?
1. Most people think I am an "Ohio girl". I was born in KY and got my wedding dress in KY. I have lived in Exton, PA, Edina, MN, Fairview Park, OH twice. Rocky River , OH and Sylvania, OH.
2. I used to love big parties! Hosting them, going to them and participating in them. Now, I enjoy a quality time with a few friends. I tend to pass on the massive get-to-gethers anymore.
3. I love things like energy, crystals, polarity, reiki. I believe intentions are very important. I believe you get what you put out there. I believe the universe puts people in our lives at exactly the right time. I would not consider myself a religious person, but more a spiritual person.
4. I have a small family. My father and I never made amends while he was alive and I am ok with that. My mom married a man that I can not relate to, due to his own upbringing, we just don't gel and I wish we did. My brother is 18 months younger than me. He had a liver transplant about 4 years ago and is drinking. Again, I can not relate. It breaks my heart, I wish it wasn't like that. I love his kids, but his wife keeps us apart, maybe due to Emily? Maybe she thought I did a bad job? I don't know, but I wish that wasn't the case and I wish there were more siblings in my family.
5. I like to give more than receive. I never know what to say when someone "gives" to me. Like I don't deserve it or something. But giving fills my heart... and that does feel good. If I see something I know a friend will like, I will pick it up for them. I love making dinners for families in need. I love donating to the food pantry. I love just surprising somebody with something little that might make their day. If someone calls me for help or resource for addiction, I am there to help anytime.
6. This is hard for me to admit, but I am a reality tv junkie. I tell my husband that I am a "people person" so these interactions interest me. Weather it's Storage Wars, Intervention, Housewives, Jersey Shore.. it will be on my ddr.
7. I have a major fear of the dentist. I really don't like surgeries either or I will go a step farther, hospitals. I avoid them. I will be glad to make a dinner for someone after they have been there, but as far as me going to visit.. that's harder for me.
8. I think kids are funny... oh and smart! Their minds and bodies full wonder is so cool to me!
9. I am not very good at it, but I do love to do "crafty" things or create. I like to paint, bead, make stuff.
10. I have been "in charge" of many things. PTA, PTO, benefits, school fundraisers, boosters, etc and what I have learned is you can't do it all yourself and if you have a good group you can do amazing things.

Loved reading this ! Very interesting,...cool stuff. : )
ReplyDeleteI like your list! I can relate to the giving/receiving thing. I think we must feel undeserving at some level which is sad and not fair to the givers. I'm working on it.
ReplyDeleteYou're a very interesting person.
