So I wonder....what might be something totally honest, yet not known about me?
Required some deep thought. Here's what I came up with.
- I have always had a premonition I'll win the lottery. I have been very lucky in the past at winning random drawings, etc... . So why I don't just invest a dollar a week in the lottery is beyond me.
- Over the past few years, my definition of 'friendship' has changed. I've generally gotten along better with men than women and we women wear each other out with drama, gossip and the need to fill quiet with excessive chatter (yes...I said it). Intentional or unintentional, all women possess this trait to some degree (yes...all of us). However, if you are my friend, you can count on loyalty from me. You may not know about it, and I can almost guaranty I won't discuss it (hence, the unnecessary drama and attempt to keep it at a minimum and possibly even spare your feelings) but I have my friends backs and expect nothing less from them. I've lost friends due to pettiness and frankly, I am better off. My chosens are still around, I love them and cherish them in my life and I make sure and let them know that.
- I just recently realized a clarity in my life that was missing (and I didn't even know it...how in the world does that happen?) and it has totally enveloped me. And I like it. I'm positive, thankful and focused on the future.
- Since I was Belle's age (6) I've been athletic. Years ago I started a workout class with one of my chosens and we rocked it. I've since fallen off the work-out wagon and am starting to feel the desire inside again to sweat. No telling how my clarity will peak when I do!
- I no longer 'just' pray. I get on my knees, have a conversation and give it all I've got. In return, He gives it back. Thankfully.
- If I ever had the chance to chase a tornado, I'd take it. Same thing if I ever had a chance to swim with Shamu...totally in! It's somewhat of a goal (swimming with Shamu). They are just such majestic creatures and I know I'll cry like a baby when I finally get the chance to swim with one (note the positive outlook that it WILL happen?!).
- I've learned to be more vulnerable and lean on people I trust. I have always tried to be there for my loved ones, but haven't always made it easy for them to be there for me. I'm learning (and trying) to be better at this.
- I have dreams I can fly. Not in a plane. I fly like Superman flies. I just take off and it's the most amazing experience. I actually feel it. Talk about empowering.
- I'm more likely to remember a person's phone number than their name. I have no idea why, but that's how it has always been. Though my memory is definitely not as good as it used to be! Ahhhhhh Momnesia.
- I believe in ghosts - or rather spirits. Not the bad, spooky ones. But spirits are all around us. It's the core of our being. Every house we've ever lived in since we got married has had spirits and we've just learned to accept them as part of our lives. Of course, now that you know this, you probably won't want to come in my house...right? Not to worry. They are nice spirits and even protective and funny.
Well, that's it. Those who know me well are sure to know some of these things. It was fun thinking of some honest traits about me and I'll admit, I had to get more cerebral than just name off things I've done or like/don't like, etc... .
So, go ahead. What are some honest things about you that people may not know? Do some soul searching.
And when you do, ask yourself: What is my most honest trait and how can I make my life better by realizing it, sharing it and making it grow?
