Tonights blog challenge is favorite person. If I was a well developed person I would probably say that my favorite person is me. That's nowhere near the truth. I rarely like myself and I don't think I've ever been my own favorite. When I was young my favorite person was Princess Diana. I admired her charity work and her beauty and romanticized being a princess. When I was older I would probably have said my grandmother was my favorite person. She struggled and overcame more adversity then anyone I've ever met. She was the most intelligent person I've ever met and she taught me to survive and thrive no matter what comes my way. Her death in 2007 devastated me. These days I would have to say my favorite person is my daughter. Her name is Ameliana and she is 3yrs old. It was a struggle to have her, I have poly-cystic ovarian syndrome and was told at 23 that it was unlikely I'd ever have children. It took a year of medication and temping and charting and timing things, and the loss of my first pregnancy, to conceive her. It was worth it all. She is the most amazing being I have ever had the pleasure of knowing. She is so intelligent, and funny, and caring. She has a fully developed sense of sarcasm that makes it so hard to be mad at her for anything. She makes me smile even on the days when I struggle with the depression that has haunted me since her birth. She is so smart and remembers so much I think her mind may be like mine. I have a near eidetic memory. If I read, hear, or see something my recall level runs around 93%. I hope it is a blessing to her more then a curse. It was great for me in school, I never had to study, but it also means that when I am feeling down my brain can recall ever embarrassment or bad moment that has happened in my life and replay them in living color. Ameliana thirsts for knowledge and I wish more then anything to give her all she wants. I want to give her the best education, to travel with her and see the look of wonder of her face when she visits places she's only read about in books or seen on TV. She is my good thing, she always will be. My perfect, beautiful, Favorite.
Well there it is, my favorite person is my daughter.
Tonight was a partial rest night for the fitness challenges, and I'm still suffering from this horrid cold so I didn't do much. For tonight's fitness I completed: 14 lunges, 14 squats, and 15sec lunge hold.
