On July 27, 2012 I had created this
post comparing my husband, his children and I to the personalities of the 100
acre wood and had dubbed myself as Rabbit because he is always so uptight. He may have mellowed a bit from Walt Disney's
animation to computerized animation used in the 2018 movie "Christopher
Robin". But as the focus was not
about Rabbit but only made a brief appearance along with Owl, Kanga and Roo,
it's hard to say.
I, on the other hand, am a lot more
mellow. I haven't been uptight since
moving to Oregon. I feel free. I don't feel trapped. The wonders of breathing clean air. I'm not as organized as Rabbit - though I
would like to be. I still don't care for gardening - though I do eating produce
fresh from the garden. We failed at having
a garden in 2018, but should be back on track this year.
I don't know which character I would
compare myself to now. I don't think I'm
even a part of that story anymore. I
have moved on. I am not only in a different chapter, but a different book as
well. We all are, I think.
Roland is still has several traits
that are like Kanga. The apron strings have finally been cut from the boys -
though he will still put it on if requested.
Still a child magnet. Still the parent.
Jenna doesn't tackle me the way she did when I
nicknamed her Tigger. She has taken on
several traits of different hundred acre wood characters. She can be playful and easy going. We don't see Eyore a lot, but when we do, the
personality is not there for long.
We all have moved on. We have grown. We have made a difference. And will continue.
