I...

• I am: a mom, a daughter, a sister, an aunt, a friend, a laugher, a random individual, a slight perfectionist, and a little bit of a control freak.
• I think: life is often hard, and because of that we need to relish in the joyful moments.
• I know: I am capable of and deserve everything I want in life.
• I want: happiness, love.
• I have: an amazing family and awesome friends...I delight in the stability of their chaos.
• I dislike: confusion, dishonesty.
• I miss: the energy I once had. The ability to jump out of bed, ready to take on the day.
• I fear: being alone, not being able to give Easton everything he deserves.
• I feel: compelled to live the golden rule....even if no one else does.
• I hear: music, always.
• I smell: nothing...OK spring = allergies :o)
• I crave: attention and acknowledgment from those I love...and the occasional Tiger Butter Apple!
• I usually: wear heels...but my feet always crave flip flops!
• I cry: more now than I ever have before...when I feel the pressure of life the most.
• I search: for socks....Eastons tiny socks....daily.
• I wonder: if I'll ever love myself so someone else can love me too.
• I regret: not spending more time with my dad before he passed away, quitting piano, and losing touch with some wonderful friends.
• I wish: on occasion, I could rewind the day and start over...I love my life...but I make enough mistakes for an army...usually before 10 a.m.
• I love: the sound of Easton snoring when he's truly asleep, the way my nephew cries when we have to say goodbye because I know I mean as much to him as he means to me, the way my family has grown closer since we've all "grown up", the cool feeling of my sheets when I first crawl into bed, and smells that remind me of my past.
• I care: about people, deeply.
• I always: count my flaws when I should be counting my blessings.
• I see: people's potential and wish they could see it too.
• I worry: about everything, but mostly about making good decisions.
• I am not: the "typical" girl.
• I remember: more how people make me feel, good or bad.
• I believe: in karma.
• I sing: in the car....when I'm alone.
• I argue: when I feel someone can't see my point of view.
• I write: far too little...I'm working hard on this blog though!
• I win: very seldomly. Competitive by nature, but less concerned with winning...if that even makes sense.
• I lose: when it comes to relationships.
• I don't understand: why I've had to learn several of the lessons I've learned.
• I usually can be found: picking up toys, doing laundry, or playing with my sweetheart.
• I need: to lighten up when it comes to spontaneity....but easier said than done!
• I forget: almost instantly...Easton's attention span will surpass mine by the time he's in school I'm sure.
• I'm happy: with my life...the decisions I've made...and the person I'm becoming.
