Nice to meet me..

SO here I am at 8:30 on a Thursday morning. Its cold outside but the day looks like it will turn out beautiful. The mountains have just a wisping of fog, and the sky is already brilliantly blue. My coffee is hot,my slippers toasty and I am finding it hard to not just meditate the morning away..The dog is snoring at my feet, apparently he is enjoying the quietness of the morning too.
Who am I. This is a question I have asked myself more and more often lately. I think I am slowly figuring out the answer. First of I'm a mother . I have two lovely children A boy and a girl, ages 9 and 7. Also I am a wife. I'm one of the lucky ones. Married to a man who understands me for me sometimes better then I do.
For a while I thought that's all I was. Introducing myself I would say " Hello, I'm Sam and Katies mom, or Hi, I'm Brads wife. Wrapped up in the day to day activities of keeping the wheels moving I lost track of me.. Actually I don't think I really knew who that was to start with.
Honestly I don't think I have myself figured out yet. However, I am choosing to be more aware of Me. A hard thing to do. I think this is probably a pretty common thing for moms..
So what have I discovered besides that I am a late bloomer. A little more each day! I'm actually enjoying meeting me! Turns out I'm quite witty.. If I do say so myself..LOL. It's a journey with surprises around every corner. I learn little things and big things. Why just yesterday I learned I ENJOY Karaoke..Odd considering I usaully like making fun of people performing..Apparently I'm a Rock star in secret. :o). I enjoy the outdoors,walking on the lake, quiet, writing (just discovered this) ....it's meditative, Museums of any sort, good books, playing in the dirt, garage sales because I like to look through people stuff it's like getting a glimpse into peoples lives. People truely do fasinate me. I love kids even the ones that aren't mine. There point of view is insatiable!
Anyways, I am finding I have strong opinions that are best kept to myself . After all their just opinions. Opinions are ment to be disagreed with and I just don't like taking the time to defend something that is based on a feeling that could change tomorrow.
So here I am multifaceted new angles being added all the time. It's been fun and I recommend the journey to anyone who hasn't yet taken up the time to find YOU.
