What Are We?

We are a million things...

What are we? We are a million things.

Most of us these days are slaves to social media.

I've just updated Facebook, Instagram, Linkedin, Muckrack, Pinterest, Flipboard, Mix, Twitter, and YouTube, and I'm now I'm celebrating that on Wordpress.

In listing all the things that we are, I am, for example - a writer, blogger, reviewer, columnist, feature writer, and an Archaeologist, except the latter doesn't even count anymore.

I'm also a wife, a sister, a daughter, a cat lover, a hedge-witch, a Druid, and a registered ear-piercer, except no one cares about the last one - they never did.

While thinking deeply about what we are, we forget what we are, and instead become a million things.

But, I can't hang around on Wordpress all day cross-referencing myself in monologue.

I have a million other things to do, and so do you.
