I Am...

Some time ago, Cheryl had this post and challenged us to post the "I am's" about ourselves. So, here goes...

I am: really ready for this splint to be removed. I have tried my best to maintain a positive attitude, and for the most part I think I have succeeded, but I will be really happy tomorrow at 1:30 PM. I expect to be in some apparatus for several more weeks, but just a half hour reprieve will be welcome.

I miss: My sister-in-law, Bonnie. She has been gone three years and I miss her every day.

I shop: Sporadically, but when I so, I most always find something I "just can't live without".

I hear: The chirping of the birds outside my sun porch.

I crave: My friends would all say attention, which is true. But right now I also crave a Wegman's chocolate brownie. Yummy!

I love: Jim and our daughters, my son-in-law Brian, and my extended family and friends.

I wonder: What my son would be like had he grown to manhood.

I celebrate: Everything I can.

I always: Love to take a nap.

I sing: Poorly. I sing very loudly when I'm alone in the car.

I cry: Much less than I used to. I think the sadness and hardships of life have taught me not to cry over small things.

I don't always: Finish projects I start. Knitting is a perfect example.

I pray: A lot but even still, I often neglect my quiet time. I'm working on that.

I write: Because I love to.

I lose: Everything but weight.

I need: People.

I surf: Not

I dread: Becoming a crotchety old lady. Nah! That won't happen.

I anticipate: The joy I'll feel when this splint is removed.

I laugh: As much as I possibly can.

Today has been a perfectly gorgeous day. Jim helped me with my summer program at a local library. We had 39 children and 20 adults. It was fantastic.

dispositions, not on our circumstances."

What a great list, I can relate to many of them myself. It will be so nice when you get that cast off. You will feel like you have been set free!

I know you can't wait to get the cast off! Anything new will feel better, at least for a while. You have been a real trooper during it all! How is Jim's hand doing?

Loved your list! You are so truthful. I've always admired you for that.

Gee, 3 years already for Bonnie! Time flies, doesn't it? It seems the older we get, the faster it flies!

Talk to you soon!
