ABC's of Life:Be Yourself

Awkward....Basic....Cheerful.....Let's just start there. These are the ABC's of me. I don't do well describing myself and it took me a long time to come up with those. Good thing I don't have to do the whole alphabet. So here goes me talking about me and being myself....hahaha.
Awkward......I think I am awkward in many different ways....I am awkward to be around at times and I find it awkward to talk to people sometimes. I don't really have many friends that I hang out with because I find it awkward to approach people about doing things. I am always afraid that I am imposing and fear rejection.
I also think that people feel awkward being around me at times. Those who know me well, know that I don't usually hold back about anything. What I do or what I say. I am pretty open and honest and tend to be a little mouthy at times. I think that sometimes people don't know what to expect from me.
Basic....I am a very basic person. I am not big on material things. I am not big on fancy things. I am girly and feminine but don't require stuff. I like my basic JEEP...my basic pool...my basic life. I like to hang out and chill. I like the basic things in life that people take for granted. Things like mud between my toes. The sun on my face. Music in my ears. The wind in my face. The smell of Abby's giraffe and Emily's favorite blanket. The touch of a hand on the small of my back. Or the whisper of a voice in my ear.
Cheerful....I like to be cheerful as often as I can because most people aren't. I have things that way heavy in my thoughts and issues that make life difficult just like anyone else, but what good does it do to make it obvious and be someone that no one wants to be around. Where I work, everyone is that way...angry all the time or in the middle of a bunch of drama and they appear to hate their jobs and don't really mind pointing out every little bad thing there is about it.
So those are the ABC's of "me"...not necessarily my life. Maybe one day I will do the A to Z's of Life. That would be a heck of a blog challenge.

Blog 1

Ok....started a new blog...fresh and clean. I hope you will all pass it around and encourage me daily to keep at it. Gotta run out for a few minutes but will tackle setting it up when I get back.
