"I am me and that is good enough."
I found this in my son Rob's blog. This is not the first time I've quoted Rob. It probably won't be the last. He has an insightful way of expressing himself and possesses a sensitivity that surprises me at times.
Have you ever wanted to be someone else? (If not, stop reading. This blog is not for you.) If you have, if you are like me, and want to be someone else, with someone else's talents and strengths and gifts, you know that it can be a frustrating, even painful, experience.
I want to be Alanna. I want to be Janet. I want to be Amanda. I want to be Alisa. I want to be Marilyn and Laurie and Jeannie and Audra and Marian and Tami and Leslie and Karen and Beverly and Barbara and Stephen King! Well, really, I don't want to write horror as King does, but I would like to have his talent and command of the language.
Instead, I'm just me, with all my foibles, weaknesses, and sins. Not to mention a few eccentricities which my family likes to remind me of. And so I keep trying. To be a better me.
Joy for today: being a better me.
