Who is this person?


Wow, what a challenge this has been for me today...thank goodness for digital cameras. I sometimes am not satisfied with the person looking back at me. I wonder if I am good ENOUGH.

Am I a good ENOUGH wife

Am I a good ENOUGH mother

Am I thin ENOUGH

Am I pretty ENOUGH

Am I a good ENOUGH friend

Do I serve others ENOUGH

Am I good ENOUGH in my calling
Am I thoughtful ENOUGH

Do I express my love to my family ENOUGH

I am trying to be ENOUGH in my eyes, and be proud at the reflection looking back at me.

I have to add that one of my favorite features is my hair. I get compliments on it very frequently.

allison, i love this post. i feel the same way with being enough. i often don't feel i'm good enough or enough of most of the things i want to be. i struggle with the balance of being too hard on myself or too easy on myself. i do want to be more of a lot though!

i think you look beautiful! it's fun getting these glimpses of you.

Great post and pictures. If you haven't figured out already, I am for sure a person who thinks I'm not ENOUGH! I hope I can learn to love myself every day not just some days.

Through my eyes, the girl I see in these pictures, IS enough. Love her, accept her. She is beautiful inside and out and so is her hair!

I have often wondered if there are mothers/women that don't have the 'enough' bug in their ear.

I love your hair too, very pretty. I could read your list and without knowing you know that you are a great friend,a wonderful mother and a caring wife. I'm with Angie, embrace it!

I pretty much am always wondering if I'm enough. (And pretty much always deciding I'm not.) What would it take?

Love the pics, you do have great hair! I now officially have hair envy.

Cute pictures Allison, you definitely have pretty hair. I think today you should decide that YES, you are ENOUGH! It will be liberating.

Gorgeous! I love the interpretation of this photo challenge - the worries of "enough of" this and that. I so relate! And you are more more more than enough, my friend.

I think we all struggle with with the same questions, and with being satisfied with who we are. Only not all of us are blessed with your great hair, and you do have great hair. I remember years ago Jenny and I commenting on how we had never seen you when your hair was not perfect- I still have not.

St. Patrick's Day is here, you see.
We'll pick some shamrocks, one, two, three.
We'll count the leaves and look them over,
And maybe find a four-leafed clover.
I'll sew green buttons on my vest,
Green for St. Patrick is the best.
I'll wear a green hat, very high,
And dance a jig--at least I'll try!

Happy St. Patrick's Day!
