We all hold an opinion of ourselves, some positive things, and some negative. I'd love to know about the "me" part of you! What are some of the words or phrases (not based on the opinions of others) that you could use to describe yourself? Can you give us an "even dozen" descriptives of "you?" 1. I would say that I am: 2. a worrier and a deep thinker 3. sometimes a clown who loves to laugh 4. nature lover 5. kind 6. sometimes "petty" 7. a child of God 8. a writer [b] 9. loving[/b] 10. sometimes I pout, which I do not like in myself 11. mother, daughter, sister, friend, and gramma 12. overly emotional, ack! Okay...your turn!

Hello Karen! I can take a clue from your post and all I can say is - a) I am a thinker and doer; (b) I am a 'learner'' (c) I am clown and joker as well, I always make gestures/speak in a manner so that people around me could smile and laugh (d) I am a amateur photographer and a writer ;(e) I am a nature lover and wish to be part of it (f) I am kind, compassionate, sensitive, emotional and open minded and not but not the least - I am a son, brother, father and a husband of a wonderful wife.

Hello April. I am glad you liked the BR...it was well deserved by you! Being your friend is an honor. I, too, weep for those poor children. If I ever became wealthy, that would be one of the best joys of having money...helping others...so many are in need that it just breaks one's heart!

Hello Koalapenguin (two of my favorite animals, by the way :) You sound like a very complex and interesting person. Being a nurse, you'd do well here in the US. My oldest daughter is a neo-natal RN, and nurses or anyone in the medical field are always in demand here. Thank you for sharing these beautiful things about yourself, and have a happy new week.

You seem to be very determined, and resourceful, so I do think you'll be fine. I think it would be wonderful if you could come here, though. Nurses are well paid! Have a nice evening. Karen

Nursing is a pretty in demand course in our country because of the fact that USA is looking for nurses. Though it's hard to go to your country because of the requirements we need to pass before going there. In order for us to practice, we need to take another exam called nclex which costs us around $500 for the exam alone. Other expenses are still not included. It will be hard for us because $1 is equal to 48Php. Some say it will depend on the state that we will practice in. Good thing i have my godmother there who works as a Anesthetist. If fortunate, i would definitely go to your country and serve your people.

Hello my friend PeacefulWmn9 Ji, WEll, I want to work upto my last breath, only to be tapped at the back for final and eternal journey by Lord 'Yama'. Working with satisfaction has an additional bonus pleasure derived from very work itself. It not only avoids problem for self, but will also not disturb that much time to otehrs. Chances of ill-feelings would be reduced to bare minimum. So let's work and work only. May God bless You an dhave a great time.

Hello my friend. My mother, now 86 and as active as possible, has always taught us: we are happier when we are busy. And I agree with her. Even people retired from a lifetime of working at a job need other interests, other things, with which to keep busy, or they decline rapidly! Karen

oh no.. hahaha.. I started to reply and realized that this is not an easy task.. But lemme give it a try. I would say that I am: 1. a mother first and foremost - I love my kids so very much. 2. a wife - as much as i can be to my husband 3. lazy at times 4. a nomad at heart - I would like to travel the world someday when life permits me 5. a jill of all trades - I can basically do some of everything and I try to diversify myself a lot. 6. a self-doubter - sometimes I know I can do it but I keep questioning myself over what really to do about a situation 7. someone who keeps trusting people even though many times they fail me. 8. a good friend - no explanations necessary :) 9. someone who can talk for hours and hours and will not hesitate to share my life 10. someone who loves life, I may not have it perfect but I know that there's a reason why I'm still live this life. 11. A deep and profound person - I may not look like someone who's very serious in my life but I am and I have deep thoughts that maybe, just maybe I am the only who can ponder. 12. someone who always has the best intentions at heart. Sometimes I may be rough and I may even be tough, but mostly I love my life and my family and I always wish what's best for them.

So on to me: 1) A quick typer 2) An even quicker thinker 3) Someone who is extremely paranoid and insecure 4) But blessed with a good kind of madness 5) A big sister 6) A friend 7) A creative person that never creates! 8) An Aspie! 9) A lover 10) A friend of nature 11) A loner in reality, but oddly social on-line 12) And last but not least, a reader! Wow, that was kind of hard actually, but awesome fun lol All the best, Dranz
