What is the thing you wish you were good at?

I wish I was good at patience, I don’t always wait as long as I should, or sometimes I push when I should hang back and watch. Just because I am done doesn’t mean everyone else is.

Day 8

Share something you struggle with.

I struggle with saying no, it is in my nature to help when I can especially the people I love, and people have taken advantage of that. It has left me being very careful who I let close, and quietly pushing back others including family who would use this against whether purposely or not. I stretch myself to thin sometimes and snap, usually at people who are not at all to blame, so it’s something I try really hard to watch now that I understand...

Write about something that makes you smile.

My boys, when they get excited about something, with my youngest it is usually animals, he will learn some interesting fact about one of his favorites, or about an all new animal all together, and he lights up, it’s impossible not to be happy when he is like that. My oldest is the same just about his robots and other engineering projects. I love watching them excited about something...

What animal would you love to have as a pet?

I am going to take this partially out of context, I have many animals, and I love them all, but I would love to have a tiger, I know they are wild animals, and that they shouldn’t be kept as pets, however for the purpose of this prompt I feel that works best. I love them, they are my favorite animal and I would love to be able to have one of my own, and again, I know it’s not possible, but sometimes a girl just wants to dream...

Day 4

Write about someone who inspires you.

A lot of people inspire me in different ways, my mother for surviving not just my fathers death, but the disease leading up to it, that was something I almost didn’t survive. Famous actors, musicians, artists, writers, for having the balls to put themselves or their work out there, you know people are going to tear it and you apart, and I am not quite brave enough to do it, though I am working my way up to it. My stepdad for always being kind, you can’t imagine how hard it is to always be kind to those around you even when they aren’t kind back, it’s both amazing and painful to watch. My best friend, her faith in god is truly mind blowing, it is such a part of her, and something I will never understand. My kids, watching them struggle and succeed, learn and teach, it inspires me everyday to be the best I can be for them. And my husband, he works so hard and asks for so little in return, though he would argue that with me, he inspires me by his love alone, his willingness to forego the things he wants and his enjoyment of the simple things that I sometimes take for granted. There have been so many amazing people in my life, people who have helped make me who and what I am today, have inspired me to live life to its fullest in every way imaginable, there’s no way to list them all here, I am sure I would forget someone important, so I guess this is it for this question, I’m starting to ramble anyways...

Who or what can’t you live without? Explain why.

I would like to say my husband and my boys, but being lucky enough to have never experienced that loss I don’t know for sure, I know I would live for one if any of the others died, but again, who truly know the answer to this question unless you have lost that which you thought you wouldn’t survive through. Humans are insanely strong and can survive anything, maybe not the same as they were before, but survive it just the same. So maybe the answer to this question is nothing, I believe I could survive, could live through losing all I have and all I love, but I pray I never have to find out.

What is inside your purse?
