I Am…

I am: an unsure, geeky, fretting, and at times anxious person
who is secure in knowing I am and happy about it.
I think: I have about 54 years or more to live
I know: there is heaven
I want: my children to pick up the clothes off of their floor
I have: an addiction to chocolate covered raisins
I dislike: unfriendly people.
I miss: the warm sun and green grass
I fear: my children’s first heart break. I know it will happen, I just want to stop it somehow
I feel: not enough at times. Too busy to feel. It’s not good.
I hear: the wind whipping through my rafters. I hope no more roof tiles come off.
I smell: my fake burning candle. It smells like pine.
I crave: my mother’s cooking
I usually: say something dumb when I have to speak in public
I search: for missing socks. All. The. Time. Where in the world do they go?
I wonder: why God didn’t make me taller. I would love to be taller.
I regret: never knowing my biological father
I love: that not knowing doesn’t change who I am.
I care: about not caring enough
I am always: searching
I worry: quite a lot about my kids’ futures
I remember: streets of Rome
I have: about three calendars that I would like to consolidate into one
I dance: a jig which embarrasses my kids
I sing: in the car and I find my kids complaining less and less about it. Perhaps they are resigned?
Or can they not hear me with their iPods in?
I don’t always: listen to authority
I argue: politics only with people who have open minds
I write: because my muse won’t let me go until I do
I lose: my cell phone constantly
I wish: all my loved ones in heaven
I listen: to the silent sounds of sadness
I don’t understand: how the universe can at times be so unfair
I don’t understand: how the universe can at times be so unfair
I can usually be found: or not found in one place for very long
I am scared: that my husband will die before I do and leave me alone
I need: at least a half an hour each day to be by myself
I forget: that not everyone wants to hear what I want to say
I am happy: for the life I have
I found this over at emma tree. And I loved her answers. You should play…and link to let me know so I can read your answers too. I wish a wonderful weekend for all of you!
Gorgeous image, I’ll get back to you about the I am
Puna – SO glad you did this. “I remember the streets of Rome” sounds like poetry and one great memory or two. And dancing a jig? Absolutely video-worthy!! I shall check in here and V&V often, waiting for that.
And PS – I don’t always listen to authority, either, and especially authority I have elected into office.
smooches

Wonderful list. There are a few I totally relate to… your “I wish” and “I search” and “I want” and “I know”. And you totally made me laugh with your “I sing”!
Have a great day!
This is great, Puna! I love getting to know you better. I did one of these a while back, but it’s not exactly the same. It’s here: http://planetmfiles.com/2009/09/24/i-i-i/
Oh my…such a great read. I am so glad you played along…and even more glad you stopped by my blog so I could meet you. Your blog is gorgeous and your photos…beautiful! Can’t wait to explore more.
I love this! What a fun way to get to know you a little more! I’ll have to do this soon.
You make me laugh and I so love that! Thank you…
and it too…
Hi Puna – I enjoyed reading this. These things start out daunting for me but by the end I could keep on going. Here’s a similar exercise I did recently.

Can’t wait to play!!!!
