I have been to enough parties, weddings, and other small-talky events since my last full time job (four years ago) that I have a lot of practice thinking about this. I for one would rather hear a list of someone's varied talents and pursuits than a description of their nine to five hours. That's not how American society works, but I secretly wonder if I am not alone on that.
Without further ado, here is a surely incomplete list of "what I do:"
- I breathe
- I think
- I dream
- I endure
- I hope
- I believe
- I choose joy
- I love
- I believe the best
- I help
- I nurture
- I grow
- I read
- I learn
- I problem solve
- I get creative
- I hunt for treasures
- I ask
- I listen
- I give the benefit of the doubt
- I welcome and include
- I empathize
- I feel
- I hear
- I pray
- I make the best of things
- I fight on
- I feed my faith and starve my fears
- I speak truth
- I cherish my blessings
- I wonder
- I worship
- I press in and press onon
- I seek adventure
- I take risks
- I analyze
- I look past the negatives
- I see how things could be better
- I encourage
- I speak up when needed
- I sit back and observe often
- I honor my heroes
- I strive for the best
- I hold myself to (too?) high standards
- I perfect
- I get intense
- I lighten up
- I smile
- I laugh
- I LIVE, determined to not die, until a fulfilled old age
