My heart says yes.

I am flawed. I am the first to admit it. I aim for the bull's eye but more often than not I come up short, sometimes not even reaching the target. I try and fail. I fall and I get up. No doubt there is better than me, smarter, more gifted, more tolerant and pretty.

I am what I was created to be. I am not ahead of myself or behind. I am who I am at this time and in the proper order of things I am ME. I doubt me sometimes. I find dark spaces to run and hide from me. I cry when I see rainbows. I walk away from fights that don't have my name on them. I sing loud in quiet spaces. I cringe at the sight of spiders yet scowl when I encounter even the slightest hint of danger or threat to someone I love and needs my protection.

I am complicated. I am me. I am not ahead of myself or behind. I am who I am at this time and in the proper order of things I am ME.

I love hard. I have a forgiving spirit. I cry when I am hurt, when I don't understand and even when I am simply confused and searching for complete understanding of things at hand. I am work in progress. If it is out there and for me, I will connect with it. It will become a part of me.

But in the end I am ME and my heart says yes. It says yes to what tomorrow brings and to what new discoveries await that shape my tomorrow after that. I am not afraid for I am not ahead of myself or behind. I am who I am at this time and in the proper order of things I am ME. My heart says YES!
