The color of happiness...

I was paid a very
nice compliment today
when someone told me;
"happiness looks good on you"..

it made me think..
I am happy!
and yet,
its been a brutal 6 months.
back to back
misses...
hurts..
mistakes...
lessons.

And yet,
I am happy!
I am not defined by the people
who say things
that I hope they mean..
or the moments
that feel to good to be true.
nor am I defined by
the questions and doubt
left behind.

Instead..
I can learn!
I can know to trust my gut
the next time.
I can choose to walk
when flags fly,
instead of taking a risk
when I know what the
outcome will be!
I can take a chance..
or play it safe.
but I will face it with eyes more open
then ever before.

regardless..
its a lesson.
its not who I am...

Who am I?
happy!
christian!
mama!
daughter!
busy!
kayaker!
shooter!
girlfriend to many!
sister!
runner!
swimmer!
vacationer!
reader!
.......and more.....

I am so much more
then the disapointments...

I am not sure what the color
of 'dadgum, I did it again'
looks like..
but I know that wearing the color
of happiness
brings out my best!

  1. Your 'who am i' list is a great one, and one that will be added to constantly. The other stuff only helps to strengthen and cement this list. You go girl!
