list 43 things I like about myself

24. I’m stubborn.

22. Faith. Faith that it will all work.

23. Dedication to a cause. One in particular.

18. My perseverence. I have given up too soon on some things, but not that many.

19. My willingness to try new things.

20. The tone in the muscles of my arms – my biceps are huge, and I love to see the curve of my delts as I brush my teeth in the mornings.

21. The fact that I will always choose water to drink first.

for me to read these entries when I’m not feeling so fabulous. Meaning, I’m not so fond of myself right now. I don’t think I’m depressed….I think I’m just sad. Sad and lost. And when I read this list, I’m sickened by my gall. I have issues with feeling good about myself. I mean, beyond the fact that I don’t feel good about myself, I feel like it’s a sin to feel good about one’s self. Oh boy…that’s a toughie to admit. Now the whole world knows I’m completely nuts.

But in spite of all this, today, my number 17 on this list would have to be that I’m pretty fond of my own company.

16. I love like nobody’s business. ;^D

15. I’m growing. Spiritually. Emotionally. I feel stuck right now, but I know it’s only temporary.

14. I like my sense of style. Naturally – who doesn’t think they are snappy dressers, right?

But I still like my ability to pull an “outfit” together from different places, and then accessorize it well.

In short, I have good taste. ;^)

13. I can manifest anything. A car, money, my relationship with FB, friends, experiences….how do I know this? Because I have, and I am.

12. I learn new skills really quickly. Last night I was pracitsing my Dutch, and I was amazed at how quickly I was picking it up! It may be that my mom had tried to teach it to me as a baby; my Opa certainly tried hard! But nevertheless, I do learn quickly, and I’m really liking that about myself.

11. I tend to be a very helpful person. As in, I will go out of my way to help others do things. I know that this can be a hinderance to others at times, but it’s my way of showing my love for them.

Today my dad and I went to visit my 92-year-old godmother in hospital. She just had surgery on Thursday to remove some malignant tumours from her bowels. She’s doing really, really well. It felt good to help her out a bit while I was there, to do a few little things for someone who has done so much for me. When there are people in your life who want for nothing, sometimes a few simple, helpful gestures are priceless.
