The ABC's of Me

The ABCs of Me is a post written for Voiceboks, The Voice of Motherhood. If you're not a member of Voiceboks yet, check it out. It's a great community for connecting with other blogging-networking moms.

This list seems to be more The ABCs of Free Association than a list of words that describe me directly.... but it still says something about me.

A is for ADAPTABILITY. I would be nowhere without this word.
B is for BEAUTY. It's everywhere and I'm soaking it up.
C is for COOKIE and that's good enough for me.
D is for DREAM. DARE to DO it.
E is for ECLECTIC. That's my blog. That's me.
F is for FAITH. It'll all work out in the end.
G is for GRATITUDE, one of my favourite and most useful words.
H is for HAIR. I have a lot of it, and I think it's safe to say I obsess over it just a little bit.
I is for I SCREAM, YOU SCREAM, WE ALL SCREAM FOR ICE CREAM!
J is for JACK. Just JACK.
K is for KISSES. Can you have too many of these? Noooooo.
L is for LOVE. It's all you need.
M is for MOM. Best job ever!
N is for NURTURE. It's what we moms do.
O is for OOMPH! There it is!
P is for PEACE. Aum.
Q is for QUIET. I vaguely remember this being highly restorative, bringing me lots of P.
R is for RAUCOUS, something more familiar to me these days than Q.
S is for SERENDIPITY. Surprising good fortune just makes my day.
T is for TRANQUILITY. Are you sensing a theme?
U is for UPLIFT. My mission. My goal.
V is for VALUABLE. You are. I am.
W is for WARMTH. Ahhhh.
X is for XYLOPHONE. It makes music and starts with X.
Y is for YES. Everyone's favourite word.
Z is for ZEBRAS. Who doesn't love zebras?




I'm also linking up today with a fellow Canadian blogger and friend, Bruna for Let's Bee Friends Friday. Each Friday, Bruna features a new blogger. Check it out! It's a great way to meet new friends.

    Sorry Kathy. :> I complain about the quiet, but when I'm alone in the house now, I kind of miss it... for about five minutes!

    Jen, some people say we have two seasons here in AB - they call them winter and construction, but I call them winter and ice cream! One summer I ate two ice cream cones a day! (And gained 10 lbs - shhhh.)

    That is a great list...and being a mom=adaptability. And nurturing is the best part of being a mommy besides the little kisses :)

    Spanish Pinay, thank-you! It was either going to be *K* is for *K*isses or *K* is for *K*arma. I figure if I dole out enough kisses that will take care of the karma! :)

    Awesome list! I don't get much P & Q either these days =)

    Thanks, Christina. I hear a lack of P&Q is a pretty common motherhood complaint. Totally worth it though, right?
