This finding me year is scary stuff.
One of the problems I have with finding me is that I never see myself as others do, and I am always surprised by what they have to say, usually pleasantly. I know it is because I have a bad self-image. Something I have battled all my life, and don't see myself getting over any time soon.
Tonight the boys all asked me to play Citadels with them, so I went into the Man Cave and played a game. During the game we were all talking about a project I have been working on, and all the advice I have been getting regarding said project. I mentioned to the boys that someone suggested I show my skill sets during this project, but that I was not sure I had any skill sets to show off. The boys immediately started talking about how my skill set was that I was a people person. The youngest said it was obvious by how strangers came up to me in stores to ask for help and/or tell me their problems or life story. It was nice to hear what the boys thought. It was nice that they even notice.
I will continue on this path of finding me, but I will do so with shaking knees and an upset stomach most of the time.

You need to be a professional Mom.
If I could only get paid for that!
