NaBloPoMo Day 21: Labeled

I’m too fried to even write.

I’ve been working ’til 8 or 9 every night this week. My brain is crispy around the edges from churning out so many proposals and contracts for holiday parties. I’m worried about my Mom – I just found out she’s going in for unplanned heart surgery tomorrow. I miss my husband and I’m anxious and fretting; harried and harassed about a thousand other things.

I’m trying to focus on the good.

I just found out that today in the blogosphere, it’s International Label Day.

According to the Urban Dictionary, International Label Day celebrates the beauty of the words we choose to let shape us, the subcultures that we are proud to be part of, and the surprising meaning of the labels we all choose for ourselves.

There are so many words to describe me, so many labels that shape me.

Today, however, I just want to stop for a minute and be this – THANKFUL.

For so, so many things, most importantly…
my wonderful family. Mom, Dad, mother-in-law, sister, nieces and nephews, cousins…all of them. The whole kit and kaboodle.
