Your Life Sparkles

It's funny how we can look at our nearest and dearest and without hesitation say these words:

 

'I have a fantastic sister.'

 

'I have fabulous kids.'

 

'My husband incredible.'

 

'My best friend is amazing.'

 

'My mom is outstanding.'

 

It makes me wonder how we can be so quick to affirm our loved ones and TRULY believe and know how great they are. No hesitation. Just confidence.. because you see them for who they truly are and if asked to share, I could go on and on.

 

(Proof: Maid of Honour Speeches for BOTH sisters... man those girls are AMAZING. I have 5 pages each to prove it. Maybe 4 pages.. there are some witty jokes woven in)

 

Of course, there are flaws- nobody's perfect. But if a kind (and- somewhat-nosy) stranger on a bus sat beside you right now and said 'Tell me about your partner. Tell me about your kids. Tell me about...'... what would you start with?

 

'Well, they chew their food too loudly... there's an unmanageable cowlick... whines too much...'

 

I feel like in a new conversation; a fresh slate.. those are NOT the items you start with! We take these beautiful opportunities to brag about our inner circle. We love our people! They are amazing- they LIGHT up our LIVES.

 

So here's my question.. what would it look like if that nosy stranger on the bus said 'Tell me about yourself'. I know I would revert to statistics first 'I have been married 3 years, we have a cat and love gardening...' ... so after that is done (thank you for introducing yourself)... what would you say to describe the HEART of your being?

 

I am incredible, amazing and kind. I have a huge heart and will do anything to help others. I love caring for my family and community. I am always willing to lend a hand and do it with a smile on my face. I am a joy to be around and my jokes are Top Shelf.

 

Now you try it. I'm serious. AND if you're really brave.. post it below. And if you're only a little ready... send it to me in a PM. I would love to read it on my own. For you.
