NAMING THE HATS

I have decided to start a Blog. Yes, I've been sucked in. I am finding that I am in need of a place to write down my thoughts and feelings. When I am busy cleaning house, making quilts, scrapbooking, or anything that allows my brain to wander, I find that there are so many things running through my head that I want to say or want to remember. There are also many things that I want my children and grandchildren to know about me that they may not know or remember. So here goes--

I have always thought of myself as kind of an ordinary person. Nothing special. Not known for great works. Good mother. OK wife. You know, just ordinary. However one day I got to thinking about how important those jobs are and how many hats I wear, thus the name of this blog. I hope to explore those many hats, and in doing so get further insight into who I am and where God is leading me. SO, HERE ARE THE HATS I WEAR--


I am a child of God. I am a daughter and a sister. I am an aunt. I am a mother and a mother-in-law. I am a grandmother. I am a quilt teacher--they call me Quilt Mama. I am a friend. I am a listener. I am an American.


I'm sure there are more hats in my closet to find and explore. I welcome anyone who wants to explore them with me. I'll leave this as an introduction, short and sweet, and look forward to see where this will take me.
