I Am

I am a child who misses her parents...no matter how old we get...that loss is present.

I am a mom who loves her son.

I am a widow - which still sounds strange to say.

I am a "what time do we ride" friend.

I am a teacher who worries that I see kids growing up way too fast in a way too crazy world.

I am a student of life - still learning all I can.

I am a southern drawl y'all. I can take a two syllable word and turn it in to six syllables.

I am someone who appreciates the beauty of nature and the older I get the greater the appreciation.

I am someone who loves to hold a book...nothing will ever replace that feel. You can have your ebooks - I want to turn that page.

I am someone that thought I knew my family history although there was one mystery...mystery solved and along the way I found seven patriots in my family. Who knew?

I am a lover of Blue Bell Ice Cream - Chocolate Chip Cookie Dough, The Houston Texans (yeah, I know...but you got to have faith).

I am someone who is happy blaring Don Henley, The Eagles, The Boss and George Strait. I am someone who loves to two step and play tennis. I am a country girl living in the suburbs. You really can take the girl out of the country but no way can you take the country out of her.

I am most importantly His and I know He created me for a reason and I believe He is getting me there. The scenic route to finding out who I really am - who I was meant to be is an awesome ride - bumps and all.
