The "Peace" Within - Self-Inventory for the Soul

One of my sisterfriends on Facebook posted 15 fill-in-the-blank statements that ask for you to take an inventory of yourself, your soul.

I did it and wanted to share my responses; might be a good thing for all to practice just to say hello to yourself - check in.

The "Peace" Within - Self-Inventory for the Soul

(my answers are italicized)

1. I feel that I have... desire ...within me.

2. I consider my work to be... very important, not only to me but also to others who can learn and feel not alone.

3. The last time I had a pleasant non-work related conversation was... last night with my SO (significant other); the conversation itself was of serious, not very pleasant material, but the sharing and relating was beyond awesome.

4. In a typical day I laugh... at least once -- usually more; I'm part of a family that has made famous the saying "laugh to keep from crying."

5. If our (me and SO) relationship were an adjective, it would be... blessed.

6. My partner and I would be happy stranded on an deserted island for... however many ...years... it takes to get off the island. We're both creative creatures and could find a slew of ways to occupy our time. We both also have lazy tendencies, so we could sleep a lot, too, LOL.

7. Our secret touches and phrases are... between us.

8. When I talk to my good friends about my Significant Other, I am... hesitant and try not to feel as happy as I am. I've never been in a relationship this real before, and I've always been the person to wait for the other shoe to drop in anything. I'm working to combat the pessimism that tries to creep in to my psyche.

9. If I find myself attracted to another person, I would likely... find that hard to believe. I'm a one-on-one type of person, and it's hard enough for me to WANT to like ONE person, let alone to be attracted to another person at the same time.

10. When I wake up in the morning I typically feel... like crap. I'm a night person, and I usually don't go to bed 'til WELL over midnight.

11. When something really wonderful happens, I think... and know God is there looking out for me, but almost instantly, I worry over how long the wonderful feelings will last.

12. Love is... hard work; there's not one person who hasn't been hurt in this world, and to trust a whole other imperfect human to love you is a courageous thing.

13. If I need someone to talk with,... I usually go to one of my TTSiC (Tag Team Sisters in Christ) for guidance and advice while also talking and listening to God.

14. My past relationships have taught me... a lot of bad things that I'm still working through so that my current relationship will be a long-lasting one.

15. My definition of "Peace" is... quiet within myself.
