Here were my five words (and why I chose them!)...
kind (As Kurt Vonnegut said, "There's only one rule that I know of, babies — God damn it, you've got to be kind." Being kind and helpful to others is the most important aspect of my life.)
silly (Serious is boring. Loosen up darlings.)
creative (Some days, there is just something inside me that NEEDS to get out, some days it's on paper with words, on others with canvas and paint, and others with fabric and thread but damn is creating things fun!)
thoughtful (I read, read, read. Learn learn learn. Think think think. Try try try.)
active (I fidget. I run. I have too many jobs and way too many hobbies. Turn off the tv, world.)
Seriously, I don't know if it's the spring finally being here or my vacation last week or what, but I just feel like my heart is bursting this week (in a good way!) I am not a very emotional person on the outside and really don't often want to sit and discuss feelings (lucky boyfriend!) but sometimes things are just so beautiful or sad or both where I just feel this swell inside. This happens a lot at good concerts. When I look at my photos from when I worked in a Dominican Orphanage. When I think about all my kids (not my "real" kids, I don't have those - my disabled teens that I worked with and loved for years and am still in contact with a lot of them). I am just having a heart swelling kind of week and everything is just so damn vivid. Anyway, go out. Enjoy your days. Your tragedies. The beauty. The sadness. Mostly the glory. Oh, and the outfits.

I really think we were split up at birth. I have "my kids" too....someone asked me once...HOW MANY KIDS DO YOU HAVE?!?!?!? and my answer was too many to count.
