Who Are You

Think about it for just a moment. Think outside the box. What makes you do what you do? What is it you like most that you would drop everything and do it on the spot? What makes you rush out the door no matter what the weather?
Many of us here have bio's we can read, but there is a lot more to you than those couple lines say.
For me, I would say that anything that speaks creativity would send the blood rushing through my veins and I would be out the door exploring the possibilities. I love designing things, creating something. I enjoy walking through museums and seeing the creative thoughts and aspirations of those whose work is on display. It just gets my own juices flowing.
I also enjoy just sitting and watching the bay. The waves washing up on shore. I also enjoy walking a beach, shoes in hand as the water washes between my toes and water and sand mingle.
I enjoy a good movie and a good book and I love writing. All of it is part of the creative side of me.
So I ask. Who are you?

I am a person who often feels the need to put herself second for someone else. But at the same time I am self centered and do what makes me happy, when I can without hurting or inconveniencing others. I am complex and like being alone but also am very social, a paradox really who I don't understand but definitely have to live with lol I also have a wicked sense of humor which given my life comes in handy!!

Right now I'm the person who is desperate to earn money. I'm driving my van on an expired tag and most of the time on empty. I can't get enough all at once to pay the tag :(
I'm the person that is looking around her house and getting upset over the constant mess around me.
I'm the person who is surfing one traffic exchange on one tablet, and surfing another one on another tablet. I'm the person who is also running videos apps on 3 smartphones right now too.....and typing this on my laptop.

I know the feeling, not all your experiences, but the hopelessness of the feelings you're experiencing right now. I hope it all changes for you. I also agree with Lisa, The Secret is a great movie that will just change the way you think and see yourself.

I do what I do because of the love for my family. I am a person that loves children and I raised six of them and enjoyed every minute of raising them.
Now I am doing fun things that I enjoy doing. We have closing of our house on Wednesday and I will get ebay back up and running and do yard sales. That is who I am I enjoy making money.

What I like the most is my life, my life as a wife to my best friend and as a mother, to the best son I think in the world. There are no words to convey those feelings, but that is who I really am, and I know that its not the 1950's and my name is not June Cleaver, but that's what matters the very most to me and I would jump up and do anything for. Just ask anyone who knows me personally, they would tell you the very same thing I believe!

Well I'm somebody who loves to explore as much as I can and who loves to write about my blessings and the things I'm grateful for.I like to do adventurous things because adventure is something that makes me feel so alive and lively that has no limit.I love to have a walk during the night time under the stars and dim light just by myself or with a close one.I am not open up to many but to those with whom I'm it's like I'm completely open up with them. :)

When you see your life as many little blessings, it makes everything you do worthwhile. Having an adventurous spirit is great! One thing I loved to do as a kid was to lie in the grass and look up at the stars at night. All those stars and I know there are constellations there, though I was never good enough to see the patterns of them. I also liked lying in the grass during the day and watching clouds.

This is a great question. As I get older I admit I often find myself asking who I really am. I am a mom and a wife but who else am I. I am a daughter, sister, aunt and niece, but there has to be something more. Six years ago I also became a 911 Dispatcher and as my children grow older I believe that tends to define me more and more.
In addition to working three jobs I love to watch my children as they accomplish new things. I love to watch my 22 year old daughter share the highlights of her job. I enjoy watching my 16 year old son when is he racing go karts. And I am just happy when our 25 year old son finds time to visit and keep us updated on his daily adventures.
So, who am I? I am a mom, a wife, a sister, cousin, aunt, niece and a friend. I am a person who loves to spend time with my family and who enjoys taking photos and writing.

No matter what happens or what the weather is like I WILL be at church! I absolutely love being in church, worshiping the Lord. I also enjoy Bible study a whole lot too.

I admit, I love that as well. I'll be heading out the door in just a couple hours for church. I know exactly what my life would be like without God in it. A day without Bible study for me would be the worst day in my life. Been there done that and nothing went right beginning to end.

I try not to define me by the things I do and like as I have the potential to change them - the me is the part that tries defiantly to be just me and highly individualistic

That's great. I can't go into a room with a piano without wanting to sit down at it and play something. I wait until the room is completely empty to do that though because I'm not great on it and can only use my right hand.

My life is books, hence the fact I'm an author. There is so much peace sitting by the bay.

I told my daughter the other day, I could easily be a hermit because I like my own company just fine and enjoy being at home alone. I love to create, I paint, craft, garden (not as much these days) and read. I have to make myself go out and be with other people! But once I'm out, I am interested in them as well and always have loads of fun.

Thanks for sharing a part of you. I am a simple person. I am happy just being with my family. I can work at home all day without even getting tired. I just love my home, it is where my heart really is.

I love to travel, have a good conversation, read a great book and live in the pool or water of some sort in the summer.

I love helping people. I love helping children and other people who are going through things I've gone through. I love reading a good book and watching an interesting movie about people trying to live their lives. I enjoy traveling and seeing new places and people, tasting the foods of that area and experiencing new places. And I love animals. I would do anything to help animals.

I have always been a man that enjoys life and when I met the love of my life. I want to give her anything she wants. I hope she will stay happy since we both retired.

I guess, the only time I asked this question to myself was whenever we are in the office and we have to introduce ourselves all over again for the sake of the new comers. Anyway,. I think I am the kind of person who is sensitive, sometimes, more than I should. I overthink a lot (what's it called - snowball). I am creative in my own right and I love to drown myself in art and the appreciation of it. I love to write and to express myself in words (just in my journal). Sometimes I am not as open minded as I should but I'm working on it. I love to be of service to my family, knowing that they are taken care of is my joy. I am also an animal lover - I love the demands of an early morning meow.
