O/T Can you name three things...

[font size="1" color="#FF0000"]LAST EDITED ON Jun-18-02 AT 10:00AM (Est)[/font][p]that you like about YOU!!!

I posted this over at the Firm Ya Ya's, but thought it would be fun here too.

I always try to keep positive, and with so many things going on, I find that one of my best tools to keep taking care of me (physically, spiritually, and emotionally)is to make sure that I remember that I am special. So, three things I like about me:

1) I am a good wife and mother. I know how to keep family first. My husband and children know that they are greatly loved.

2) I am loyal and honest. If someone tells me a secret, I take it to my grave.

3) I am crafty and can teach just about anyone how to a) take better pictures (photography); b) knit: c) crochet; d)scrapbook; e) cook; f)sew.

Okay everyone!!! Now it is your turn. Name three things you like about YOU!!! Come on...you're worth the recognition!!!

Cool thread....I gotta think about this a bit...

Let's see:

1. I like that I have been exercising/working out for over 20 years now and am still going strong with it.

2. I like my sense of humor. It's gotten me out of some "tense" situations!

3. I like that despite the fact that I'm 42 years old, I am still able to act like a little kid sometimes! (i.e. just the other day, I was skipping across the parking lot....my husband thought I was NUTS!!!)

Wow! This was unexpected! Lemme think . . .

1. I've been sober for almost 15 years now, and that freedom from alcohol (if not alcoholism) has been the absolute crucial foundation for becoming a productive and loving citizen;

2. I start my husband's day each day with "I love you", and also say good-night to him by saying "I love you" - he's so sweet;

3. Over the past 10 years I've become a committed, intelligent exerciser as well as a kick-butt aqua aerobics instructor (I like to think of myself as the Cathe Friedrich of the indoor pool!).

Thanks for the upper! I'm looking forward to reading everyone else's posts!

[font size="1" color="#FF0000"]LAST EDITED ON Jun-21-02 AT 12:33PM (Est)[/font][p]I like this thread! Okay:

1. I like that I am no longer anorexic and causing my family and friends heartache. And now I am healthier and happier!
2. I am always have the loudest laugh in the room. It may be annoying to others, but I like it!
3. I like how every email or note from my husband ends with SHMILY (see how much I love you)!

P.S. Aquajock, congratulations on your sobriety. I am a teetotaler because alcoholism is rampant in my family. I really admire you.

RE: To Jillybean . . .

I have to say "right back atcha" for intelligently choosing to be a teetotaller given your family history. No one ever died from NOT taking that first drink. I wish I had had your foresight.

Congrats to you as well for conquering your anorexia. Not many can say that!

RE: To Jillybean . . .

Thanks Aquajock! We can both be proud of ourselves. One thing I hate to admit and I think about it every time I see your name - I have lived in the land of 10,000 lakes my entire life, and I don't know how to swim. Pathetic, huh?

RE: To Jillybean . . .

Not pathetic at all - the lakes in this state are so cold and loaded with so much milfoil, mallard droppings and boat fuel you couldn't get me into one of them if I had a total-body wetsuit on!

I'll stick with the NWAC Hiway 100 chlorinated pool myself, thank you!
