A few years ago I came to terms with the fact that I am not an adventure seeker. If someone was to give me the opportunity to parachute out of a plane, I would probably not take it.
More recently I’ve realized that Jeremy and I are not the fixer-upper types. This may seem obvious to some, but as is often the case, I am a bit slower to understand this truth about my husband and me. We are not handy-people, home renovators, etc etc.
What are you NOT? And when did you get comfortable admitting it?

I am not laidback. Never have been, never will be. I think I balked at that realization for so long because the “opposite” usually has negative connotations, and being “laidback” seems somehow desirable rather than neutral. But I’m fine with it now, despite the fact that I keep getting jobs that require me to sit back and roll with it more than I’d care to!

I am not a gardener, though I really, really want to be. I am also not a “do-er”. I’m a dreamer, but actually doing the work…Not so much.

I am not a person who can volunteer for things easily. I wish I could! But I feel intensely uncomfortable doing so. I am becoming more and more introverted the older I get.
I also am not a “glamour gal” – i.e. a woman who has to wear make-up, have perfect hair, and match accordingly every time I leave the house. :-)

I am not a chef.
Unfortunately, I still have to be a cook.:)
I have finally come to terms that it is okay to not like to cook.
(Even though it’s not really fair–YOU don’t have to renovate every day…. :))
