I am means so much. Be who you are.

What message are you giving yourself and others? Is it positive or negative?

“I am ….(add your own words here)”

  49. Venetia

    I am just I am. Not good, not bad, not even indifferent. I have found that life is way to short to sweat the small stuff. There are far too many things that happen that I cannot change because they have happened I can only deal with the residual of the act or acts of what has happened. I say this because once something has happened, it is now in the past and the past cannot be changed. And we all have a past good bad and indifferent. I can only pick up the pieces and try to put them back together the best I can.

    I Am

    I Am Loving and Caring 
    I wonder at the magic of human interaction 
    I hear a roaring of the universe 
    I see the plight of others
    I want to be more outgoing
    I Am Loving and Caring

    I pretend to know more than I do 
    I feel the presence of God and those who have gone before 
    I touch the glory of God 
    I worry that I will outlive the one I love most dear 
    I cry at the thought of loss, past, and future 
    I Am Loving and Caring

    I understand there is a God and I am most grateful 
    I say we are children of God and are blessed to be so 
    I dream of experiencing all that life has to offer 
    I do unto others as I would have them do unto me 
    I pray my health will continue for many years to come 
    I Am Loving and Caring
