Every once in a while someone asks me "who ARE you......really......"
I'm never quite sure how to respond to them.
Being the trusting soul I am, I 'warp speed' into looking for their hidden agenda....some crumb that discounts them actually wanting to come to know ME...looking for that bit that they're really asking.
I'm a child of G-d.
I'm NOT my occupation, what I choose to do/what I'm purposed to do and have done for 35 years.
I'm NOT the disease of choice for the day--though I do have a host of them that I get to use for the good of others....and me cuz that's how it works.
I'm NOT the outside package that might or might not be suitably dressed for one of the many roles I get to step into.
I'm NOT the proud 'owner' of children--though I am blessed to have them in my life.
I'm NOT the role that society puts me in...though I have 'earned' the titles by right of passage.
I'm a child of G-d.
A lover of sunrises and sunsets.
An agitator in the washing machine.

* Sitting in the sunshine with my blankie.
* Managing steps on crutches is reason to celebrate!

"An agitator in the washing machine"
Me too, dear lady, me too.
But I think 'we Libra's' are born that way - to talk about the pink elephant in the room!
(((((( You )))))

And what a perfect thing to be. I am so very glad to have you coming into my life Mel. Thank you. So much.
All that..
and a splash of beguiling elusiveness.
A wonderful mix.♥
AND...on top of that, I see a bunch of other good things that you are. Example?
Incredible sister
Vibrant grandmother
Lovingly precocious wife
Faithful blogger
Halloween Hobblegoblin
That's enough for now...
:D
Oh Mel! What you are is a beacon, a glow of warmth, a sense of humour and joy, a defence against the contrary tides, a breach in walls of ignorance and unkindness.
And that's just online. As to who you are? A dear friend at the very least, to me anyway.

Really!? People actually ask "who ARE you....really..."...and it's happened more than once!? Blimey! You know some, erm, yeah...don't think I've ever been asked that in my entire life!!

Hi Mel,
You are right to ask the question that you ask.
We all should now and then, as we get too set in the confines of our roles.
A child of God should be everyone's first answer.
Ans hey, if you can be an "agitator in a washing machine" make it a good long wash, coming out clean & shiny!
With love.
xox
