Labels

So I've been thinking about labels, specifically what kind of blog this would be... I realized that I don't want to be defined by labels... This is not going to just be a "Mom Blog" or a "nurse blog" or a "Spiritual Blog"... Though all these "labels" describe me - and - are relevant to my life - I don't want to be boxed in. I also want to be free to be ME. I am a Mom, I am a nurse, I am a Christian - but I also cuss like a sailor and like to attend social gatherings that involve wine and liquor and beer... I'm not perfect, and I don't even really aspire to be... I want to be the best Mom, nurse, and Christian that I can be - and I know what areas I am lacking - but I work on or through these things in my own way. I definitely believe that my life is predetermined by God, and while my life isn't perfect - it is what it is - and I'm ok with that... To quote Jason Aldean's song Good to Go - "I had and All-American Mom and Dad, some of the coolest friends you could ever have, found love I thought I'd never find - sometimes I can't believe this life is mine..." Those lines in that song define me, but there are a boatload of other songs that do, as well...

Wow... Decided on a name, now what? I had so many things to say all the other days I just THOUGHT about having my own blog! It's actually not my first attempt at blogging, but it IS the first time I have put so much thought into becoming a real blogger! I am a reader of many, many blogs... I am blessed by so many different types of blogs. Other than using this as a way to keep family and friends up-to-date and to journal, I seek to BE a blessing...
