Tag, I'm It

Ok, I don't really know EXACTLY how to do this, but here it goes. I got tagged by ANNA (link to journalistsjournal.blogspot.com on the right side of this page).

The rules are: List who tagged you, list 7 random or weird things about yourself, then tag someone.

7 THINGS:

1) As a child, I nearly severed 2 toes while walking barefoot in a lake. The docs were able to sew them back on and I have scars that go almost all the way around them.

2) I also tore out my tonsils with a plastic baseball bat. (Don't ask.) The docs were able to sew those back in, too, but only to have them removed later in childhood because they were always getting infected due to enlarged scar tissue.

3) I fell into the fountains at the mall while doing cartwheels on the side. My sisters were supposed to be watching me. They weren't really watching me...

4) I have played the violin for 20 years and love, love, love using that talent to praise God and teach others.

5) I am very sensitive to other people's issues and can cry at the drop of a hat when thinking about other people. About myself, I rarely ever cry, even under insurmountable pressure, stress or heartache.

6) I enjoy doing recreational physical activity (not that I get the chance very often). I have skied, rock climbed, repelled, canoed, worked a high and low ropes course, horseback ridden and hiked. These activities appeal to me a great deal and a perfect vacation would include all or some of them. I would love to go white water rafting someday, but ONLY when the kids are much older would I allow them to go. (My Eagle Scout husband does not like the above mentioned list near as much!!!)

7) I like to view myself as naturally a positive/optimistic person. I definitely look at life as the "glass is half full." I believe that God has given me the tools I need to be effective in my line of work, but has protected my heart against cynicism or negativity.

That's it - I tag MOLLY. (Link to the right of this page.)
