OK, here goes. I'm cringing before I even start, because "modesty" (aka self hate) were pounded into me so thoroughly from day one. It's so *impolite* to say good things about oneself (ironic grin).
1. I'm smart. I understand things quickly. Everyone notices that about me first.
2. I'm tall. I used to hate that, but now I like it. I can gain 10 lbs without it showing. I can tower over people.
3. I have a warm heart. I've been told that by five different people (who don't even know each other) in the past year, so I've come to believe that it must be true. I certainly *try* to have a warm heart.
4. I'm very organized and manage my time well. It's how I can babble at work and still get everything done. I never miss my deadlines or appointments.
5. My sense of wonder is alive. I like getting stopped in my tracks by seeing a bird on my windowsill, or noticing the expression on a passing child's face, or watching my seeds poke their little green heads above the dirt, or momentarily connecting with a stranger.
6. My sense of humor is also alive. I like to laugh, and I do it a lot. It's a dry sense of humor, with an appreciation of the absurd, and is sometimes misunderstood as insensitivity.
7. I have a lot of friends. Which must mean that people like my company. Yay!
8. I like to learn. I'm always poking my nose into a new set of books about something or another. Some of the knowledge comes in handy, and some of it is just stuff. But I'm glad for everything that I know, and all of the interesting things that I still get to learn. My husband always mentions this as one of the things he likes about me most.
9. Um . . . I'm running out. I'm . . . um . . . a good teacher. Apparently I have a talent for explaining things clearly. At least sometimes.
10. I'm a hard worker. And persistent.
11. I'm healthy right now. Even mentally for the most part, at least relative to my past.
12. I'm open minded. Yeah, I know, everyone thinks that. But, I really think I am . . . ;)
