Yesterday I walked past a sign posted outside a shop. It said -
"Whatever you are, be a good one."
— Abraham Lincoln
As I walked, I couldn't help but think that finally I had a topic for this blog for today.
Hard on the heels of that thought came questions.
What am I? And am I a good one?
I'm a wife. I try to be a good one. Sometimes I am, sometimes I could do better.
I'm a mother. My children think I'm a good one. They're adults now - lovely, hard working young women and they're still happy to be at home, so I guess in trying my best to be a good mother, I succeeded (though I'm only too aware of all the ways I could have been better).
I'm a teacher - again I strive to be the best for my students, to meet their needs and infuse into them a love of learning. Their parents consider me to be a good one, but again, I'm all too aware of what I could do better. I keep trying.
As a writer - let's just call me a work in progress.
As a blogger - not so good - more on that to come tomorrow (aaah - another blog topic! YAY!!!)
As a child of God - another work in progress and something I'm better at some days than others.
What about you?
What are you? Are you good at it?
I hope you have a wonderful day!
