Linking up with http://www.edenriley.com/ for the first time. This is a scary question!
Who Am I?

Friend.
Yes, I’m all of those, but WHO am I?
Yo-yo dieter.
Caffeine addict.

Worrier.

Listener.
Routine keeper.
Yes, I’m all of those too, but really, WHO am I?
Cook.
Cleaner.
Washer.
Ironer.
Constant tidy-upperer.
So easy to say all that I DO, but who am I? That’s tricky.
In my mind I’m living each day as best I can. Loving my family and making sure they have all they need. Running a business that I love working in. And hoping that I can spread some positive energy, just by being more aware of those around me and what they may need. I love my life and sometimes wonder how I got so lucky, but then remember that over the years, I have struggled. Sometimes I even wonder how I got through “stuff”, and then I think, because I was meant to. It’s that easy to me, even in the darkest hours I knew I had to keep going, because there was something in the future for me.
So, I guess I’m hopeful, positive, optimistic, maybe even unrealistic. I’m also pretty sure I’m here for a reason……one day I may even figure out what that really is.
Great post Lisa…..yes, wondering the same thing….I know that I am here for a reason, but what is it???????? Am I here as a carer, wife, mother, friend or to just to be? I assume it will all become evident as time goes on, so I shall just let the universe take its course and go with the flow happily, secure in the knowledge that I’ll be doing exactly what I am meant to, with a few life lessons thrown in….that’s all I can do.
One day it will all become clear Jaana. Until then, the routine goes on.
It’s so much easier to list the ‘do’s rather than the ‘am’s. I adore your positivity, Lisa. There is a… certainty in the way you write that is honest and true. x
Your generosity makes me smile Bron xx
