Waves,

I totally understand about being lost.

Every decade or two we can redefine how we think of ourselves. If I ever was creative I certainly am not now. I can recognize creativity in others and appreciate it. That's were I am now. I don't know how I would define myself today

I am a survivor. Somedays that's where I am in my head.

Most of the time, I don't think I define myself at all. I don't try to put a pin on anything. I stay fluid. I might be able to describe myself by age, my hubby and family, where I live, . . . . but none of those are who I am.
I think that who I am might be revealed at some later date.

. . . just saying to you that you can forgive yourself for moving away from the person you used to be. You have gifts. You are still you -- a you who is deserving.
