Focus on Life: Week 25

Sally Russick of The Studio Sublime is hosting a year long challenge which is... sublime... as you'd expect with such a studio name. The challenge is named 'Focusing on Life' and every week Sally is sending a prompt on what should we focus the following week.

This week she asked everyone to complete this sentence, "You Are ___________!", and fill in the blank. The only catch is it had to be positive.

My issue is to pick just one word, one that will uniquely and completely define me.

That is almost impossible! I am so many things: I am a bright confident woman (I do have my own doubts, don't worry :)), wife, mother, sister, daughter, friend. I love many things, I hate very few things. I am positively skilled in many areas (artistically, technically, psychologically), I am a realistic optimist.

I tried to think and think - and what came to mind over and over was 'content'. I am truly at a point in my life where I am grateful for all I have. Yes, I want more and I working patiently and slowly to get what I want. I have been blessed with opportunities to complete some of my wild dreams, to work towards completing others. I have dreams, I have hope - I have family and friends to love me and to be loved back.

Because being content is hard to picture or capture - I decided to capture it through my son's eyes:

William's lens work - in the Royal Botanical Gardens

A peaceful moment in the Royal Botanical Gardens. A lovely day, where flowers can be touched and give you energy, when sun shined brightly (although not very warmly), where the basic necessities of life were met: we had food, water, shelter, and plenty of love!

Thank you, Sally, for another week of self-discovering :)

And you, my friends, are invited to learn more about what each of us consider themselves to be. A hard exercise, for sure - please join us at Ms. Sally's for a thoughtful gathering :)
