the I am Meme

i am: a lover of Christ, a Mama, and a naturalist

i think: life is going by too quickly

i know: that I will grow older with each passing day, so I won’t hold back from what I can do today

i want: to meet and be attracted to a good, honest man who knows how to make and keep a commitment

i have: great friends and great family members

i wish: people would stop telling me how to take care of my yard. I like it the way it is…natural and wild

i hate: mean and dishonest people

i miss: my parents

i fear: life will be over before I have done everything I want to try

i feel: the most deeply intense love for Tuki

i hear: Tuks playing tea party with Bear bear

i smell: nothing at the moment

i crave: the outdoors, a good run, and hugs from those I am close to

i search: for inner peace and contentment at all times, yet still hard to find sometimes

i wonder: if I will ever get there

i regret: not noticing the good men in my life when they were there, thinking I always had more time to find a commitment minded man who I was compatible with

i love: Tuki and my life

i ache: for the finalization of the adoption process for my girls in Haiti

i care: to be a good person who can help others, through actions or financial contribution, but I need to get out of debt (for the sake of my family) before I will allow myself to make the financial contributions

i always: leave my shoes and coats laying around the house

i am not: a neat freak, nor am I messy, I tend to maintain a balanced view of cleaning versus spending time with those I love and things I like to do

i believe: good will ultimately win over bad

i dance: with Tuks

i sing: with Tuks

i cry: at happy endings to movies, and when a person triumphs over an obstacle in their life

i don’t always: have patience…LOL

i fight: my anger at others when they make a stupid or negative comment around Tuks about skin color or an adoption related matter

i write: poorly

i win: whenever I can forgive others

i lose: whenever I let mean or insensitive people change my outlook on life

i never: understand why people don’t want to know about bad things, because the more one knows, the greater the chance that the bad thing can be changed

i confuse: manipulation with kindness, I just assume all people’s motives are pure, unless I find out otherwise

i listen: to the call of the birds and songs of the frogs

i can usually be found: at my house every evening since Tuks is in bed sleeping, I am therefore housebound for the night

i am scared: of the day I will die and the effect it will have on my daughters

i need: Christ, food, water, and heat in the winter, and to know my daughters are happy and healthy

i am happy about: where my life is and where it is heading
