My own Mediocre

I decided to start this blog as way to expel, emit, escape, and declare publicly, but privately. I have a family blog but this is blog is just for me.

I started thinking a while ago about me.  Who am I?  What am I really good at? Who would say, "Only M could do it right".  That's when I realized that I'm just mediocre, average, run-of-the-mill, commonplace, ordinary.

Then I got depressed, and did what most of us do, I told my husband what I thought.  He did the good dutiful husband thing, and contradicted my complaints.  Telling me what a good wife, mother, sister, and professional I was.  He went on to tell me all the ways he appreciates me.  On a scale of Good Husband Moments he surpassed a 10.  I couldn't have asked for anything more and he made me feel very special, and I know that he meant every word he said.

BUT, it wasn't what I was looking for.  Don't get me wrong, every girl enjoys an appreciation fest from her hubby.  Even though I knew he meant what he said, I still felt the same.

What makes me mediocre to me?  Thats a whole other post.  Today I'll say what I think is a Marvelous Woman, then I'll know what I need to work on. I'll list it out. (I love lists)

A Marvelous Woman:
-is an exceptional house keeper
-cooks well, healthful and interesting food
-is organised
-is crafty
-can sew
-plays the piano (or an instrument)
-is fit
-volunteers
-thinks of neighbors, and serves them in times of need WITHOUT being asked

These are just a few and they are vague.  I might just add to them, but they are what I feel I am not right now.  So this blog is the beginning. A place for me to document my journey from Mediocre to MARVELOUS.
