Its not a one time occurrence either.
I'm pretty sure I've had either a conversation hangover, or as Brene Brown puts its a vulnerability hangover on a reoccurring basis my entire life.
I know I talk a lot. Its not something I'm unaware of. I have a ton of words. When there is a lot in my head, it can often come out at once and be overwhelming to my message receiver. In a text world I'm a "let's talk" girl. I have too many words for a text unless I'm on my MacBook and can message you on a keyboard.
My poor quiet husband must at times wish he were deaf, but then that wouldn't work either because I know sign language. I covered all my talking ability options! Its who I am. Its not the only aspect, but its definitely a defining trait.
As I thought through all of this, I realized, I have a lot of people who have to sort all my words on a regular basis and still love me! You send a one line text, I send a paragraph. You take 10 minutes to share your day, I take an hour and a half. You are a saint!

So this is an official, "Thank You!"
Most of this is me being humorously self-deprecating but in all sincerity, I'm grateful for those who process all my words and love me in spite or maybe because of it!
Who do you need to thank for adoring you in the midst of your weak points? Do you even know what it is you do that annoys people? Being self-aware is both a gift and a curse, but I think its imperative for a good life.
You can't go anyway or move forward or even embrace who you are without it. God made you with purpose and yet you are and ever will be, human. Good, bad, ugly all wrapped up in one human. Time to embrace and acknowledge so you can figure out what needs to change and what needs to stay. Its a process, but we need to be in it! Happy Wednesday!
