What I'm About

Mary Ann did this little exercise on her blog a while back, and it looked like fun. You are supposed to list what you are about without stopping to think about it. Since the kids are on break, and I don't have time to think about much of anything, a post I don't have to stop and think about sounds perfect. So, I'm about...

  • My God (although that still feels weird to say) and my spiritual life

  • Becoming healthier: mentally, emotionally and spiritually (one day maybe physically will get in there too)

  • My kids and being the best mama for them I can be

  • My marriage and doing my part to make it work

  • My family and friends (including my "imaginary" online friends)

  • Animals: my pets, helpless strays, injured wildlife...

  • Writing and this dang beloved blog of mine

  • Leaving my part of the planet a better place than I found it

  • (Striving for) compassion and mercy

  • Horrible, merciless mockery of things I find absurd

  • And in light of the two above... Progress, not perfection

  • Letting go (but also not perfectly)

  • Good books and beautiful words

  • Laughter

  • Sharing (sometimes, ahem, oversharing)

  • Occasionally hiding in the bathroom to write a blog post (hm, maybe that should go under oversharing)

  • The ocean

  • Opening night at the movies

  • Practically anything with sugar in it


What are all of you about?

  2. I'm about so many of the same things! I'd do one of these lists, but it would look like I just cut and pasted yours!

  3. Good stuff. I'll do it a day this week. Thanks for the idea.

  4. I find it interesting that you listed God first. I'm loving watching your journey, albeit the little part that you share. (Saying that in a non-judgemental way.) I think that back when I did your interview you may not have listed God at all; at least waaaaay down the list. Right?

    I'm staring this so I can do my own!
