Reasons I'm me

Just for fun....

I'm me because there are chocolate crumbs in my keyboard, cat hairs in my printer, crumbs in the car and ibuprofen in every drawer in the house. I'm me because I'd rather have flowers on the table than expensive food in the fridge.

Loving eye contact with one of my cats can make me smile all day. Each kiss from my husband lasts a lifetime.

I'm me because decisions matter, and politics doesn't. Because friends matter more than money, and life's too short to polish your taps. Because food is a feast, and not a fuel.

I'm me because making someone happy for half an hour makes me happy for half a day. My bed is the one with three duvets, a patchwork quilt, a dressing gown and two cats on it. My space has an average of twenty books within arms reach. I can't go a single day without writing some form of words, and every word I write strains to tell a story.

I'm me because I can be a genuis and a dunce at the same time. I'm me when I can't add two three-figure numbers, and try and spend the same £100 four times. I'm me when Husband tells me off for belching, when I floss my teeth on the sofa, and when I bite my nails.

I'm an impatient driver, a faithful (but forgetful) friend and an occasionally conscientious worker. I'm me when someone makes the mistake of thinking I'm dumb because I laugh a lot, and I'm 100% me when I prove them wrong. Laughing.

I'm me when I know I have a high IQ, but I'm more me because I know it doesn't make any difference.

I'm me because of the words, the words, the words.

And maybe the smile.
