Queen for a day

This may sound weird and conceited, but knowing who it's coming from, hopefully no one would think that.

As odd as it seems, the thought occurred to me today that I deserve to be treated no less than the queen I am. I have put in my time, I have paid my dues, I have developed my skills and character refined through fires of the worst sort. I put others first ALWAYS, even when it's unnecessary. I am an amazing mother, daughter, daughter-in-law, sister, sister-in-law, wife (yes, I will say it), church member, child of God, employee, friend, aunt, cousin, niece, granddaughter, EVERYTHING! I'm humble, responsible, dependable, thoughtful, loving, patient, kind, positive (finally), joyful, forgiving, creative, smart, honest and calm. I am a great housekeeper, cook, decorator, shopper and laundress. I watch what I eat and I exercise regularly. I LIVED through the death of my son and can still function and be successful in life. I love my kids fiercely and would do anything for them. I stand for what is right and what is good as much as I can. I would never refer to myself as lazy. I have amazing taste and an incredible sense of humor. I'm a good listener and do my best to help and encourage others. If someone doesn't like me, they have a HUGE problem or they are jealous of me. It sounds egotistical, but it's not-it's the truth. I worked hard to get to this point and it should be celebrated and appreciated. Yay me!


(The title "Queen for a day" came from the day of your funeral when people were asking me what I wanted and I was able to just tell them and they did it. Everything and anything I requested was done. I felt guilty about it for a little while, because it's something I'm not used to. I shouldn't have though).
