Who are you?

When I am really honest with myself, I have to ask "who am I?". I am a wife and mother, a sister and a friend but who am I when I am all by myself?

Sometimes I wonder if I will ever really get beyond the hurts of my past. Will I ever feel whole, worthy and ready? I hope that I will never stop seeking to improve myself. My quest is to leave a legacy of kindness with all that I meet. I know however that there are depths of fear and anger from those times that are yet unexplored. I mask them but know they are there like magma beneath the surface.

I want to be able to be comfortable with who I am and who I am becoming. I don't think that life really ever has a end as far as learning and exploring goes. I hope that I am open to new things and adventures. I like to think of myself as someone who pushes herself just a little bit further out of her comfort zone with every passing day.

I want to be able to look at people and see God in them. I want to be able to acknowledge that and feel good about it. I think that I am closer to that goal than I realize ~ even now. I feel that I am growing in honesty and integrity. What is that saying?? " I would like to be the kind of person my dog thinks I am"? That is my goal for this year.
