I think most of us confuse our who with our do, and I can relate to losing my identity as a nurse to assume the unwanted one of chronically sick person with M.E. But as you remind us so beautifully here, we are Abba's precious children first and foremost and that's something worth celebrating from now to eternity! Thank you. :) Joy Lentonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03486637586238798088noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1643092331729126387.post-46655107244515262602015-10-07T20:45:26.304+01:002015-10-07T20:45:26.304+01:00So true Clare!

Good to hear you've got out from under it, and reminding us all to send the thought scurrying away every time it tires to accuse us. It's all there in the party-intro-line, "So what do you do?" as if we're machines!Mari Howardhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05606125048044373268noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1643092331729126387.post-5757821278123846232015-10-07T13:27:48.278+01:002015-10-07T13:27:48.278+01:00Thanks Claire xThanks Claire xMandy Baker Johnsonhttp://www.mandybakerjohnson.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1643092331729126387.post-91966327517711491092015-10-07T13:08:07.652+01:002015-10-07T13:08:07.652+01:00Brilliant - love this.

We place our identities far too much into what we do, and perhaps even more so as writers because our writing is so much an extension of who we are and so personal.
