We wear so many hats, so many faces, on any given day

I am a daughter. As a daughter, I am a worrier about the future, health nag, a pleaser and much more.

I am a health writer for my day job. I am also web content publisher, reporter, note taker, polite girl.

I am a blogger.

I am a children’s book writer (even if none of them are technically finished yet).

I am a photographer.

I am a journaller.

I am a friend.

I am mom to MyraWonderPup and Sam the Kitty Man. I am playtime friend, nap buddy, wake up and feed me morning person, protector.

I am a runner.

I am a card maker.

I am a car dancer.

I am a mermaid.

I am a little kid.

I am a saver.

I am the bill payer.

I am a traveler, I am a dreamer, I am a collector of fairies and bottles, I am a napper, I am a plant killer, I am a squealer at bugs.

What hats do you wear?

I like the concept of “Hats” Instead of “Masks…”
Wonderful post!

Great blog!! Great subject matter for any woman or man ; for the giver. Recently I wrote a song and in the song I commented on “the hats I wear hang on the wall – I still stare at them with the hope they’ll fall”. The line was literal and also metaphorical as is your blog. I just wanted to share my reflection and song with you. I hope you enjoy! Wear your hats and take time for you too.

I share my song: “the surrender”
