I love DIFFERENT! In a world that strives
for cookie cutter, those who refuse to color
within the lines are priceless! How's that
for a mixed metaphor?! Nonetheless, the
topic bears thinking about. We should ask
ourselves, "Am I truly content to just be
like everyone else? Am I brave enough to
try and find ME? Is it really so important
we all look alike? Think alike? Act alike?"
One of the things I've found most difficult
is find, and finding oneself once again
throughout the different eras of one's life.
I suppose the initial search begins in middle
school, only to change somewhat in high
school. Adult years, tinted and/or tainted
with education, jobs, job loss, spouses,
children . . . may be some of the most
curious years in self search. What I never
expected, was that it would begin all over
again in my elder years. Never say it
coming; thought I'd been there, done that!
Not sure I should raise a glass or hand out
alka seltzer to those of us on our quests!
When in doubt do both?! Courage . . .
i ask who i am
pondering these many years
am i really me
