I Am Katie


I Am

I am Katie, the younger of two daughters, in a family that loves, argues, and loves again

I am a little sister, and an older cousin, always following or leading

I am a daughter, who wants to make her family proud

I am a friend, caring and loyal to the end

I am a historian, watching the past reach into the present as the years go by

I am a gardener, guiding flowers to fruition

I am a night owl, never noticing the time until 3:00 am

I am an admirer, of the art works of masters

I am a gastronomist

I am an astrologist

I am camping, with love for cold lake water and boat rides

I am writing, spinning tales and opinions day-to-day

I am people-watching, laughing to myself at unusual antics

I am Andy’s frozen custard, and sweets of all kinds

I am stories, from novels, movies, and comics

I am a team player, enjoying seeing others shine

I am Chatty Kathy, never shutting up

I am a social butterfly, loving to meet new people.

I am studious and steadfast, working to meet my goals

I am brown curls and a round face

I am hazel eyes and playful smile

I am savoring, enjoying the beautiful life I’ve been given, with every stride.

  1. I love the variety of titles you've given yourself: gastronomist, astrologist, Chatty Kathy, social butterfly...you've captured your multi-faceted personality well! I can relate to the night owl title myself, and I love what you say about your family loving, then arguing, then loving again. How fortunate of you to have been given such a "beautiful life" and to realize what you have. Thanks, Katie!

  2. Katie! Love the last line, "savoring, enjoying the beautiful life I've been given,..." really hit home for me! I really wish that I was a night owl, and I'm trying to work on it. I am definitely a social butterfly, maybe we've both been told to be quiet in class a few times before? :)
