I read the Editor's letter (Jane Francisco) which was called "in a word" about an 'art exhibition' called "Mille Femmes". In order to take part, she needed to contribute one word to describe herself. (The exhibition was the brainchild of French photographer Pierre Maraval, who travels the world shooting portraits of 1,000 people within a given community.)
Anyway, she posted the pictures of her contributing staff for Chatelaine with the many 'one word' descriptions they offered about themselves. I found it very interesting. I tried to think of one to describe myself before I allowed myself to review all of the words shown on the page. I came up with a word for my hubby - POSITIVE - and I also asked him to describe ME in a word. He said 'NICE'. It took me a long time to come up with my own descriptive word and I needed to develop a list and then scratch off all but one! So, my word is............................................................ you're right...I can't decide! I think it depends on my mood. Maybe the kind of day I am having. Perhaps what I am involved doing at a given time? or is it just that it is hard to wrap yourself up in ONE word? I am not sure. I will continue to think on it. I am sure there is something out there that I would feel comfortable in describing myself as being.
What about you? We're all so different. How easy is it to describe yourself? Maybe once we think about it, we'll see ourselves in a different light? Maybe we need to improve in certain areas? or perhaps it is just what we needed to realize we CAN DO different things and we are complex! Stop being so hard on yourselves and like my hubby, be more positive - more productive - more caring and concerned with others.
Anyway, I will leave you with that 'thought for the day'. Have a good one!
