I was enjoying a post from Sassinak yesterday and in the middle of the page were these words;

you are who you choose to be,
you are who you think you are
and you are who you say you are.

I’ve been thinking about those words ever since.

How many times have I said, “I’m not a singer!” or “I’m not a head turner.”
Or “I’m a ditz.” Or any number of self deprecating statements?

I am who I chose to be.
I am who I think I am.
I am who I say I am.























I am me, a work in progress.

It is so easy to fall into that trap!

You know, when someone gives you a compliemnt and you reply in the negative.

You look nice today.

No! I look a mess.

I walked into the grocery store last night after work and noticed a book entitled "You are who you think you are" Then tonight I come in here for the first time and read the words you posted which were most similar. I'm begining to think that there is a message in that for me. Thanks for sharing those thoughts.

Lovely pic too btw.

hugs

Beautiful photo & words. I've been struggling lately with how I view myself...it's been negatively. I forget that how I view myself expresses so much to those around me.
