Day 24: First Person Singular

During his sermon at church today, our minister told us that he starts each new confirmation class with the question, "Who are you, really?" and then gives the kids a sheet of paper with I am ___ written 15 times. So I thought I'd give it a go.

I am mostly a good mother.
I am a so-so wife.
I am strong.
I am filled with good intentions.
I am not always right, although that's difficult for me to admit.
I am a good listener.
I am moody.
I am funny.
I am pretty good at telling people that I love them.
I am sentimental.
I am good at wasting time.
I am aware that I have all I do because I'm lucky, not because I deserve it.
I am a believer in sharing my good fortune with others.
I am looking forward to turning 50, but I'm nervous about growing old.
I am superman. No, not really. Just reminds me of that REM song.
