Cross-Examination

On what would you be cross-examined? That was the question posed to our class this afternoon on the blog. I must admit this was something I had to give quite a bit of thought to, because I always strive to be who I am, everywhere I am, and not put on different masks to satisfy the different people I encounter.

After pondering this topic for some time, I have concluded that if someone were to examine my life, something that might puzzle them, and give them cause for cross-examination would be my closet.

My closet is in a constant state of dissaray. There are clothes everywhere, hangers strewn across the floor, and the closet that once was walk in, has been transformed into a walk-in-if-you-dare closet. You may wonder why I think I would be cross-examined on this part of my life, a messy closet, what's the big deal? My life and personality is together, not scattered, I have things under control. The fact that my closet is so out of control might cause someone to wonder why, and if that means the rest of my life is out of control also.

The answer to this question, I am happy to say, is no. My life is together, my closet is just a mess. Simply put, I don't have time to sort out that junk. My messy closet is a part of me, it's where my crazy disorganized side can roam free.

Celebrate

I wake up in the morning
And open up my eyes.
I'm alive and breathing;
From my bed free to rise.

I am blessed to be alive
And have freedom to learn.
For basic needs of life,
I do not have to yearn

When I look at my life
I know that this is true.
I have cause to be thankful.
So I celebrate
Will you?
