Just Me

Be who you are
and say what you feel
because those that mind
don't matter
and those who matter
don't mind....

~Dr. Seuss~

Sometime on my journey,
I heard a lady in her later years
reply

"I have been some one's daughter,
wife, mother, grandmother, and
at the present time
it is so wonderful
just to be me"

That's me.....

For all who have asked
at the moment "I am feeling fine."
Will see what the surgeon says'
tomorrow :)

The book that is pictured is one I gave to my little granddaughter's several years ago.
But it reminded this grandma of her desire.
As I look back over the years
it seemed I was always playing a roll
never could "just be me."
It has finally happened
and it is great....

What an eye-opener we can get if we just wait long enough.

I know exactly what you mean. Now--if I can just figured out who I am--the last few miles of this journey might be interesting!

Oh what a desire ~ to just be me!! To not feel pressured or unsure of myself.

So glad you're feeling so much better. Hope you get a splendid report from the doctor.

I try to be more me these days. DH encourages me in that area too.

Hope you get a wonderful report from the surgeon tomorrow.

Have a good night's sleep tonight.
