What Do You Think?

Reading so many books lately has triggered some wonderings on my part. I have been thinking of who I was once, who I am now and who I am to become. When I read authors descriptions of people they make the individual come alive on paper, as if they are sketching a caricature. They describe their looks, their talents, their interests, their short comings, their manners and character. Have you ever stopped to think about what makes you, you? What is the first impression you leave with people when you meet them? Does that impression change over time? What will be our legacy?

What good questions! The first impression I leave with people??? I think maybe it is different each time depending on who we are meeting. I'm going to have to give these questions some thought. Thanks-

I think I actually think about this too much and over analyze everything I do. Maybe that comes from being such an avid reader?

I think that at first when people meet me, they may be overwhelmed with how loud I am. I feel like I may leave them with the feeling that I'm aloof and flighty.

This is just how I think others may see me.

Well if you ask my family I am one person, if you ask Rick's family I am someone else, same with my friends, my ward and my work. I think we are all a number of different people depending on the situation. As for who I really am, I think I am someone who likes to just do my own thing and be happy. =)
