Prompt #1 is, ask yourself 20 times “Who are you?” The last time I did this I was 16 years old and I think I still have those answers!
So here is my attempt to answer this in 2014. . .
1. My name is Lani.
2. I am the daughter of Mary and Dwight.
3. I am the wife of Ed.
4. I am the mother of 4 children, Dan, Scott, Karen and Matt.
5. I am a sister to Linda and Rolly.
6. I am a grandmother to Maxwell and Sophia, both the joy of my life!
7. I am a quilter, and sometimes genealogy buff.
8. I am a past scrapbooker (which I need to do more of).
9. I am becoming a healthy person, by losing weight that I have carried for most of my adult life and by exercising.
10. I am working to be a more positive person in my outlook on life.
11. I am happiest when working in my sewing room.
12. I am an adult who finally realizes that life doesn't get easier as you age.
13. I am an avid tea drinker.
14. I am a vegetable lover(not something I would have ever believed!)
15. I love to read books (or listen to them if I am quilting!)
16. I am an organizer.
17. I love to be around family.
18. I also enjoy being by myself.
19. I like shopping online rather than in the stores.
20. The exception to #19 is fabric stores, they lift my spirit when I walk in their door. I can remember being dragged to a fabric store in downtown Seattle with my mom. It had wooden floors and dirty windows, with long rows of bolts of fabrics. . .I hated going there and could not wait to leave. It was so boring to me, sorry Mom!
