Who am I ? - Thoughts for Thinking
53Self portrait?
Who am I, Really
Oh, how I wish I knew
For I'm half way thru this journey of life
And still don't have a clue
My Mom says that I'm very special
(of course she does, she's my mom and that's
what mom's are for)
ah, but back to my thoughts
My Mom says I'm very special
As we're all blessed with special gifts or talents from God
But what is mine, and how will I know
For I don't see anything special in me
I've done many things and can do lots of things
A jack of all trades and master of none?
But just don't seem to blessed with that one special thing
i'm a woman, a wife, daughter, sister, aunt, and friend
but those are all very general descriptions, aren't they
Way back when in school, band geek ( gee, did ya see that one coming)
Went to college, got a degree
Got out on my own, and got my first loan
I played soccer for three years in a recreational league
I've "tried" (and "tried" is the key word here)
snow skiing, and water skiing
Been snow mobileing, dog sledding and enjoy riding atv's
Have gotten to do some traveling and seen some cool things
I've been a sorority girl and a party girl
I've driven a race car ( yep, ya better believe it, got pictures to prove it)
I like to make my own jewelry and can weave a double sided Cherokee basket
I like to cook and bake ( I go cookie crazy during the holidays)
I like to read and listen to music and watch old movies
I like wine and rainy days and dogs
and hey, I can write hubs (quality is still a work in progress)
for that matter, I'm still a work in progress
I love to laugh and make people laugh
If I've made you laugh and smile, then happy days, my job here is done
But as you see, I still don't have an answer
to my life pondering question of
Who am I
For I am still searching
for that thing that makes me special
A gift or talent that I can say
Hey, this is what I'm best at
This is what i'm meant to be
Or will I have to wait
just like Grandma Moses
until I'm 93!!!

lol
LMY: Sometimes the journey is much more interesting than the destination...You are a fellow traveler, always looking beyond your horizon, always reaching beyond your grasp....hang on, its going to be a wild and wonderful ride, meeting many intriguing creatures along the way...don't box yourself in trying to know yourself, let yourself surprise you every day with new and fresh insights...
Thank you for this sweet prose...I enjoyed your honesty and humor...Larry
M101 - thanks for reading and glad you liked it. you've given me a new perspective to think on, appreciate it.
Who are you? An interesting question to be sure. Your hub is making me all philosophical. Does anyone ever really know who they are? What makes up their essence? I'd say, based on reading your hub, you are a very interesting person. But that is only WHAT you are, not WHO you are.
I love this hub, it makes me think, and I don't think there is an answer to that question other than you are YOURSELF of course.
thanks for reading and the comments. and now you've got me thinking again.

I think you are best at being you. You are unique, wise, loving, and funny. You're worth a fortune and I, just to name one fan, am very glad I've found you.
