I've Got Style

I was tagged by Sara. I have to make a list of 10 things that define my style. I really like how Sara made a theme of shoes and boots with hers. I hope I did this right.

Defining my style:

1. Family: I love my family. I love my girls. I love my husband. I love my siblings. I love my mom. Family is important to me. They’re always there to listen, to support, and help me and each other.

2. Hugs: I like to hug the people I am close to. It’s like an adrenaline booster shot. It’s my way to show I care.

3. Chocolate: I have a weakness when it comes to chocolate. I often hear chocolate call my name. It’s a soothing, rich-flavored comfort “food.”

4. Comfort: I like being comfortable. I always wear jeans or sweatpants. And a good pair of running shoes that fit well .I don’t like to dress-up for too long. I rarely wear make-up.

5. Hearing aids: I wear HAs every day. I cannot hear very well without them. It helps to amplify sounds so I can distinguish them better. I still have problems with low voices (mostly male). I like to listen to the leaves rustle in the wind. I like to hear a child’s giggle. I like to listen to a dog’s excited bark. I like to listen to soft rock, country, and music of the ‘80s. I am glad I am able to enjoy these things.

6. Walking/exercise: I want to stay healthy. I believe this is the most important thing I can do for myself. Heart disease and adult-onset diabetes run in the family. I want to take care of my body.

7. Reading: I love to read. I like reading other blogs. It’s like opening a door to another world, another life far different than my own, though it seems like we are alike in a lot of ways.

8. Writing: I like to write poetry. It takes some time for me to create one, but if I think about it, it comes together. It’s like someone (perhaps an angel?) whispered in my ear and helped me water the seed and make it grow into a poem. I love blogging. It gives me an outlet to hone my writing skills and share the blogging world my thoughts and frustrations.

9. Dogs: I have had dogs as pets for as long as I can remember. I lived out in the country on a small lake. I loved walking the dogs and swimming with them. They were, for the most part, well-behaved. I would like to get a dog again, but one that is house-broken. I don’t have the patience for potty-training. I just love dogs, though.

10. Soft-hearted and Laid-back: I am a real softie. When I get to a sad part at movies or when reading a book, I cry. I “ooh” and “ahh” over babies and baby animals. I am easy-going. I am not the kind of person who blows up at every little thing that goes wrong.
