What I am is what I am

40 B4 40
5 days to go...

Five days?  Five days?  Where did the last 39.999 years go?

Well, let's see -
Alice Springs, Australia - Anchorage, Alaska - Camp Verde, Arizona- Townsville, Australia - Wickenburg, Arizona - Maryborough, Australia - Tucson - New Orleans - Tucson - Cleveland - San Diego - San Francisco - Barcelona - New York - Brooklyn - Manhattan - Wanderingalloverthecountryoncouches - Santa Monica - Denver, sweet Denver.  Ah - no wonder I'm pooped.

I've written much about the where in the past.  Many posts about wandering, moving, home, staring over.  Today I'm more curious about the what of the past 4 decades.  (Shit, I'm counting in decades now!)

I've been many things - daughter & granddaughter, niece & big sister, teammate & camp counselor, runner & jumper & dancer, top student & Hey-Mon hard worker, traveler & homebody, teacher & fund raiser, mentor & volunteer, apartment renter & home owner, event producer & hired hand, girlfriend & ex (& then girlfriend again), disaster responder & master planner, co-worker  & colleague & boss, neighbor & stranger, friend & confidant, aunt & playmate, and on and on...

So many roles, so many lives already lived, so much leaving one place to start over in a new one.   So which one am I?  Which what is who I am?
