Boy do I feel like an odd duck!
Andrew isn't feeling well today, so I have been in Blog world--reading woman's blogs--and holding and nursing baby.
There are some pretty incredible women out there. Some going through some major trials and some that are extremely talented in one area or another.
I am feeling like I don't do anything extraordinary or even close to it.
Let's see...
I'm not crafty,
I'm not athletic,
I'm not a writer,
I'm not highly educated,
I'm not a shopper,
I'm not good at cleaning...
I am a homebody,
I am happy,
I am a mom,
I am a wife,
Maybe someday I'll get a new hobby.
I am an odd duck, good thing I like ducks!!

I love duck! even odd ones!
But I love you more!
You are exactly what you need to be right now, that makes you just right not odd.
I am with ya... I blog-surf to and I wish that I was as super-talented as so many of them.. But I think you nailed it at the end of your post. You are a mommy (to nine of the most amazing children) you know that I love them all. That is a huge "talent" to be a great mommy, wife and homebody.. So many women out there can't put that as their claim to fame. BUT YOU CAN!!! I sure do love you.
I am with you - we should do some "how can I find my talents" RS Additional meeting. :) wouldn't that be fun?
Oh and HAPPY in todays world is a HUGE rare-ity.... I am glad to be in such good company. :)
ok, as I read this I cried. I have known you for how long now, and all through those years I have tried to adminster the qualities you have into my own life as a mom, we are all individuals and offer so many things in different ways. Your quality as a mom magnifies so much, you are a tremendous wife, oh how that is admirable, I wish I had. I am not crafty either, and I have learned my qualities of being a mom from you. You exemplify so much just being you. After all, we do not take our crafts, our clean homes or anything with us when we move on in life, we take our families, and oh what a wonderful one you have!! I love you and admire you.
You are amazing
You are beautiful
You are a great aunt
You are one of my best friends
You are funny
You are loving
You are a daughter of God.
I love you!!
WOW! Thanks guys!
I love you all!
I was thinking about children and how we don't care if they are crafty, or athletic...we just love them because of who they are.
I am sure that is how our Heavenly Father feels about us.
Love, pure and simple love just because we are who we are.
I'm happy!!!
Happy is what you should be, it is so easy for others to see all your great attributes, that is what I have to remind myself, when I think I am not good at one thing or another, we are our largest critics! LOVE YOUSELF for being an amazing person! :) Lucky family you have! :)
Well, it seems we are all in agreement here. We love you just the way you are. I admire you so much and when mothering seems hard I think of you and your kindness and goodness. I feel blessed to have you in my life. Aren't forever families just the best?? I will forever count my blessings that I got you as a sister in a round-about way.... love you.
