“I Am the One…
- I am the one who is balanced. Oh, sure, I panic and flap around and cry but then the scales swing back and I deal with whatever it is that caused the panic.
- I am the one who has learned to love her life.
- I am the one who is naturally happy and optimistic. I am delighted that I am this way. My childhood was not a good one in many ways and without this natural optimism, I really think I might not have survived some of the things that I have survived. So, I can say truthfully, I am a REAL survivor!
- I am the one who is moving into a part of her life which will be filled with creativity and who gets excited when she thinks about this.
- I am the one who is happy that she can cry. I felt so sorry for my sister when she told me that she didn’t cry because it was no help to her.
- I am the one who found out this morning that the weight is creeping back.
- I am also the one who measured her oatmeal this morning and will continue to measure and record what goes in her mouth until she is back to the healthy weight.
- I am the one who KNOWS, who really truly knows that for her that walking is the key to keeping herself healthy.
- I am the one who enjoys walking and wonders why it seems to have slipped to the bottom of the priority list.
- I am the one who takes small steps to get to her goals
- I am the one who needs structure. I take classes partly because they impose structure into my life.
- I am the one who enjoys learning.
- I am the one who used to say she was shy. At this time in my life, I am not shy.
- I am the one with a naturally dry skin and has used a moisturuzer daily for over sixty years.
- I am the one whose blood is attractive to mosquitoes.
- I am the one who feels uncomfortable saying she makes bread. I put the ingredients in and the machine makes it.
- I am the one who is delighted that she is back to reading for pleasure.
- I am the one who is waiting until the raisin bread in the machine gets to the point where I can take the paddle out.
- I am the one who will be out for a walk in about an hour…
Until later….
and I am the one who loves reading your entries! 🙂
