Who am I?

I've introduced myself to literally tens of thousands of people in my life. As a child, I was me. My parents' daughter. Older sister of my younger sisters. When I reached junior high school, I became, in addition to myself, a cheerleader, a spelling bee champion, a lifeguard at the pool. In high school, I was a singer, an actress, again a cheerleader (captain of the cheerleaders, if you will), a band member, a girlfriend. Since I was 21 years old, I've been a mother, a wife, a mother three more times, my parents' daughter still, a waitress, a banquet server, a college student, a patient care assistant, and a nurse. Some of these things I still am when I introduce myself. I'm a darn good mother and grandmother. I'm a really great wife - ask my husband, he'll agree. I'm a damn good nurse. I'm a reader, a singer, a musician when I have the chance, a friend, a swimmer when the season's right, and a walker. So let me get something off my chest. Let me tell you what I'm not. I'm not a runner. Never will be. I'm not a gym rat. I just don't have it in me. I like to walk. I hate to work out. Hate it with a deep, searing passion. You won't catch me running stairs at some auditorium or stadium. I don't like to lift weights. I'm ok with sweating, really, I am. I'm just not going to kill myself in a hot nasty smelly gym six days a week. I don't care if I ever wear a bikini. I don't. I may not totally love my body all the time, and I know I need to drop some pounds, but I'm active. I'm healthy. My lab work and "numbers" are all good. I'm not very good at "dieting". I'd rather just eat a little of what I like and move on. I'm not you. I'm me. I'm no exercise fanatic. I cook. A lot. And I'm fairly good at that. I like flavor. I like variety. I love vegetables, but I'm no vegetarian. I like meat. I like sweet. I like dairy. I love fruit. I'm no ovo-lacto-vegan. Not happening. I'm not you. I'm me. And I kind of like being me.
