something that I am...often

it used to bother me
I tried really hard to stay on track
I would beat myself up when I would be scattered

wondering why I couldn't be a little more "normal"

but in reality I am easily allured by any sparkly thing in my path
and have much in common with Dug from UP!...Squirrel

people often need diagrams to follow
along with my conversations

there is not a bouncing ball that

could keep up with me when I am on a roll

but in the year of authenticity

I embrace it
not all willing to see a doctor to fix
which could be some degree of ADD,
it is who I am

without it...

would I be as creative?
as energetic?
as amusing?
as unique?
as engaged in my life?

I think I will stick with the positives it brings me

and minimize the negatives.

I have found coping mechanisms

such as playing music keeps me on task at work,

having a long to do list

and giving into the need to multi task

gets more than done if I only had one

thing to accomplish.

this year I have learned

that we need to be careful when we

try to change who we are,

and by that I mean, who we TRULY are

the good, the bad, the unattractive

not that person we think we

SHOULD be or WANT to be

no, just what and who we are.
