Finding me

I'm the kind of person that wants to make everything better for everyone I love or care about.  Not many people understand that or appreciate it. It's who I am and over the past few weeks I have come to realize I really like that part of myself. As a matter of fact, I really like who I am. I can be enthusiastic, energetic, and passionate but I'm also a loyal and caring friend. I have values which I stick to and if  my character rubs someone the wrong way, that's their problem, not mine.  I try to avoid conflict and confrontation when possible but I'm learning to standup for what I believe. I'm reminded of a girl that used to pick on me in 5th. grade. She was so mean! I used to walk home from school and she used to follow me home and push me down in the mud or snow. I used to cry and ask God why she was so mean to me. Now I realize she did it to make herself feel like a bigger, stronger person. Well I know I didn't do anything then and was basically the same person back then that I am now. There will always be that 1 person trying to push me down in the mud or snow. I can't control them but I can control  who I am after. My husband made a good point. He said, don't change who you are, it makes you special and I love who you are. Well guess what?! So do I. S all those people who may not understand me or dislike something about me, tuff shit. I'm a good person and I like me and that's all that matters!

Ps. I used to do something with my kids everyday that I called 1 good thing. Today my 1 good thing was, my Beckaboo made cookies and she's going to wash the dishes from dinner :) hint hint ;)
