I AM

Suzy, over at Not a Fertile Myrtle, had this on her blog and I thought it was a nice little check in.  I obviously failed BIG time at the photo a day challenge, but still looking for ways to be patient during the wait to start IVF...so here goes.  (if you haven't visited Suzy's blog -- you should!)

I am…  a caring, empathetic, unconditional loving, often naive, sometimes pessimistic, woman who loves to take care of others.


I know… someday I will be a Mom -- and an awesome one at that!


I want… to go on vacation RIGHT NOW!


I wish… noone had to suffer from infertility.


I fear… the loss of those close to me -- family and friends.


I feel… anxious and vulnerable right now.


I smell… the remnants of dinner; dryer sheets.


I hear… Diners, Drive-Ins and Dives on tv, the cat snoring next to me (love that sound!)


I wonder… why people who will be great, loving parents are struggling with infertility.


I believe… in the powerful combination of Eastern and Western medicine to overcome struggles and that test results are just numbers, but God is the one in control and miracles do happen everyday.


I sing… when I am happy or sad, but generally when I am alone (I don't need to subject anyone else to the torture of listening)


I cried last… in the last few days.  A family member of my hubby's is dying and I am really having a hard time with it -- and it strikes me at unexpected times, generally not a full-on cry, but simple tears.


I can usually be found… taking a walk outside on beautiful days like today.


I am happy… when our cat lays on my chest to nap and when I spend time with those I love.


What are {you} today?
