thinking...

[bluecastle]

Glargh. For all that I like to talk about myself... today's reflection prompt is going to be hard... 'cause I have to find things about myself that I like! Always problematic, but I am intrigued by how today's prompt is phrased:

December 8 – Beautifully Different. Think about what makes you different and what you do that lights people up. Reflect on all the things that make you different – you’ll find they’re what make you beautiful. (Author: Karen Walrond)

Off to get some work done while my co-workers continue their assault on radio phone-in contests... and show off photos of their deer kills. Is it just me or is "Wow, that's nice!" the wrong response to "here, look at a picture of this deer I killed."

As I tried to think about how to approach this, the words “a song of me” floated up from somewhere. And this is what emerged…

I am:

ample

beset by doubts

charmed by clouds

dramatic

easy to please

a fiction writer

grateful for my friends

hopeful

in love with collage, and making something out of nothing

just me

a keeper of things

a listener

messy

needed

owned by a cat

paid to catalog films

quite fond of warm buttered toast

respectful of traditions, but not afraid to try things a new way

shy

trustworthy

undone by kindness

vintage obsessed

wacky

an (e)xcellent stage manager

yearning to travel

zany
