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?

    Great list! I have got to do that one of these days, I really like it!

  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!

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

    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!
