Proud to be me!

It's not an easy thing to really come to terms with who you are... or what your purpose here is. There is a plan for all of us, nothing happens on accident. Each step on the sidewalk, each turn of your car signal, each wrong turn in life leads you to that very next step on a different sidewalk. It is all so very cliche but we all know it's true. It's tried and tested in our very own lives as we look back in our personal rear view mirrors of perception and timelines. How many of us can honestly say they really know themselves intimately... through and through to the core of your blood. There are people in your life that quite possibly know you better than you know yourself. At least better than your rational thinking allows you to know yourself. We are our own worst enemies a good portion of our existence until we get to the point where we can take responsibility for who we are and where we will go. We fall victim of the limitations we put on ourselves by not taking a good honest look at our thoughts because those thoughts drive our decisions and our decisions are the force to the quality of life we lead.

I have a great life. I always have. I haven't known hardship in comparison to many people and if I have it's been small. I think my attitude is greatly based on my perception of those hardships. I have learned to step outside of my own mind and take hard solid looks at my situations. I see how I feel and I then compare it to others.... it's minute, miniscule.... I still come out on top. Why? Because I am alive and I am me.

The me I am is rooted in family, friends, history and how I want to shape the future. I am founded by my loves and my losts, my mistakes and my amazing successes. I also see the "me" that I am in my children. I see my father and mother, I see my brother, I see my husband. I see all of my steps in life in their eyes. I see the similitaries that run through our blood and I see the "them" that is being created by every single soul that has touched their lives. There is a picture of every generation in my family at the bench of music. That bench being the foundation of the lives they are creating for themselves. Those white keys the steps, the tools, the loves and losts they encounter and the sound that flows from it is the sweet music of their future.

I am proud of the music that flows from my decisions that helps shape the persoal tunes of those around me. I am proud to be me!
