One Word

El Mirage, Arizona

I was driving down the street the other day and noticed a car with a bumper sticker on it.

That was the only bumper sticker on the car, and it was just like that.

One word stating (what I’m guessing is) the most important characteristic of the car owner.

One and only one.

So that got me to wondering…

What word would I use to describe myself.

Limiting to just one is very difficult.

I think that the three things that define me the most are the year I was born, the fact that I’m a female, and the affects of having an identical twin.

If I was born in the 1600’s, I would be a totally different person because life itself would be so different (duh) and so short. 🙂

Had I been born a male, I would have a totally different take on life regardless of the era I was born. Just think how different the counter around my bathroom sink would be. 🙂

Being born and raised as an identical twin greatly altered my life because I didn’t individuate from my parents and siblings as early or as completely as a singleton. Well at least that’s what my therapist told me. 🙂

Knowing those three things and how much each of them affects who I am, I’d have to say that were I to put a bumper sticker with just one word to describe myself to others on my car, I’d choose twin.

So, what would your one word be?

    1. Giggles, Lorraine… You do realize the irony of “changing” your word to content, don’t you?

      1. ha ha Kathy!!!!! Yes, if I was content I wouldn’t need to change my word!! But I didn’t think of content until I was reading my book and thought how content I was. So that’s me “content”! So many one words are coming to me now — satisfied, I remember when you asked a question of who would get a tattoo and if so, what would it be. I was the first to say no way, I hate needles. But out of all those people I am the only one who got one! Are you tattooed yet Kathy?

        1. Nope, not yet Lorraine. I had hoped to get it done here in Phoenix, but all the shops look scary. 🙂 I plan to get it done in Boise…

          1. My thinking …. I am hopeful that Leyna will do great at dog showing, but content if she isn’t. I am hopeful it will be sunny at Bogus when we go skiing, but content with skiing if the sun isn’t shining. I am hopeful I will have a better garden this year, but content if it looks like last year. Want me to continue? Hopeful and content at the same time!!!

  3. “Dreamer” for me. I would so pack up and move to LaLa Land if it were really there!

    1. There is a nice substitute for LaLa Land in Colorado and Washington. Coming soon in Oregon and Alaska. 🙂

  6. Twin!
    Twin B!
    Twin 2!
    Ha ha ha! These are great!

    I was actually thinking earlier today about getting a vanity license plate. PICKLEBALLTWIN or whatever fits!

  7. Oops – Meant to post that it’s great to read others’ one word choices. Is there a compound word for content dreamer twin?
