Sometimes when life gets busy and new chapters of life start, it is good to remember who you are. I wrote the post below a while ago, and needed to read it to find myself again. I have tweeked it, but it is pretty much the same as the original. I think we all need to do this from time to time. Know who you are, rejoice in who you are: the good, bad and ugly. Constantly seek to better yourself before you try to better others ( my life lesson this month ;)
This is me

I am:
Distracted easily, hotheaded, emotions lead. If provoked I could shoot lasers of hate out of my eyes in your direction. I can say the wrong thing at the wrong time and in the wrong way, causing awkward moments. I then overcompensate other times, I think too hard about what I am about to say and give myself a headache. My humor is not always projected how I would like. My release button for my emotions is broken, I allow myself to wallow in my sad emotions for too long. I laugh when it is inappropriate, and cry at watching anything on tv. I curse when I am angry and when I am happy. I am not always liked, yet not always hated. I have an energy level that can be annoying at times. I am lazy. I am selfish. I am inconsistent.
I am not proud of my false, but I am aware they are my own. It is important to know and work on your false, but it is more important to know your strengths and rejoice in them. It is called balance.....
I am ALSO:
Loyal, focused, and courage driven. I trust my God with all my heart. I love deeply. My empathy for others can bleed my heart dry. I am a person with a gifting of mercy and understanding. I will not give up in a difficult fight ( thought I may grow weary and slow in pace, I always have a big finish). On paper my life can seem chaotic, I chose to believe in God's will for my life regardless. I laugh when I am happy, and laugh when I am sad. I know light can be found even in the darkest of places. It only takes the smallest amount of hope to keep me going, and I am able to see hope that others may not. I love my husband more than myself, and would defend him and my children to the death. I learn from my mistakes. I am in love with my family and friends, and would walk on fire to see them happy.
This is me!!!! I feel sorry for anything or anyone who tries to get in my way while I am focused on God and His plan for my life. I am not perfect, but I AM WONDERFULLY MADE by my heavenly father who loves me. It is in this I find my freedom. It is my freedom that brings me joy. Joy that will be passed on for generations.
