This is a question that has haunted me for all the seasons of my life. I
still don't know. I envy people that do. 

This isn't a preachy article. I am sure you had enough 

of my words. I am still trying to understand myself, find my place 

in this life, this world.  I grew up in a large family, and I love 

my brothers and sisters, maybe sometimes not too much, but 

I do feel blessed to know that no matter how the miles separate 

us and even time itself, when we are together, it seems 

like no time at all has passed. 

Oh, how family can set you right and tell it like it is.  A brother 

or sister knows you better than most.  Even when you think 

you are too big for your britches, a sister can put you down a peg 

or two. Remembering a few humorous and even embarrassing 

things you did. They seem to have a knack for those little zingers

who we were. Creative, innocent, imaginative, and most of 

all wonderous. The best part of my plays was the audience. 

Even the applause was cool  One time I was the star of the 

play and I was a cowboy. Another time I was a singer. Or a 

princess. But I was never the flower. I wanted to be the star! 

I even made up a song and sang it for my class. They said 

my voice was really pretty and even the teacher clapped. I seem 

to thrive at that time. 

That is the girl I am. Happy in my heart. Singing, creating, 

being me.. I am sometimes misunderstood. Sensitive, 

a bit quiet, but other times I am fun loving and silly, compassionate 

and playful.
