Me: Now and Then and Always

I am...

Dozens of pens
Scribbling my thoughts on random napkins and scraps
Inspired by the ocean
Candles everywhere all of the time
Used books and items passed down
Afraid of stains and dirt
The girl who keeps a journal but burns the pile when it reaches too many
Crying at everything because my heart is tender
Delighting in flowers and trees and nature
Avid reader and lover of words
Soft heart but tough when I need to be
In love with poetry and lyrics that twist and wind and lodge in my gut
Up for adventure at anytime
Who's the Boss and Twilight Zone from the 80's re-runs
Soy salted caramel hot chocolates
Music that massages the soul
Pink pink pink!
Unicorns and fairies and girly things
A believer of fairy tales
Photographs everywhere of everything and everyone
Intrigued in the history of people and places
An admirer of those who have gone before me, the stories of those whose heads now beam of gray
Ferris wheels
That little dreamboat child who has my heart eternally- Mylie Jade
A mama to any child anywhere at anytime
I will not shop unless it is a bookstore or a thrift store
Frequenter of Olive Garden
Showers everyday
Breathing in the crisp cool air
Lover of October days and nights
Memories of that 17th summer
God and Jesus but never ever religion
Sun kissed by summer sun
Airplanes and airports
Hanging out at Kaiser waiting for my boy
Reading at the dinner table
Movies by myself to escape the heat outside
Milk chocolate butter creams at Sees
Saving my allowance to buy a record or a new Sweet Valley High
Holding the flowers picked for me by child hands
Long walks and playing in the rain
Midnight play for Mylie's 5th birthday
LeeLoo and my girl dressed as a ballerina with fairy wings dancing across the grass
Cross country move with the boy- Subway sandwiches and a cooler and just us and the open road
Dreaming of France and everywhere else
Missing the Philippines always
California girl through and through
Secretly loves country songs
Bunnies and pigs
Treasure chests of secrets and memories
Target
Winnie the Pooh
Those 4 teens who I would do anything for
Family
My Small World blanket
Granny sweaters and Uggs
Battling sickness daily
Cabins & cottages
Raindrops!
Purses-especially old ones
Full of hope
Portable heaters
Georgia at 22 years old- new and delighted
Doesn't drink coffee
Loves a good grilled cheese sandwich
Laughing until my stomach aches
Brazen with a first kiss
Filipino traditions and old wives tales
A tattered Bible with me wherever I go
Walking the streets of Wilmington
