Hiya all
While doing the how to let go thread, I have just realised the power of thinking good things about ourselves so thought I'd start this.... This thread is for you to say good things about yourself!!!
I am:-
Happy
Helpful
Kind
Generous
Friendly
Honest
Lovable (well my husband loves me so I must be)
And I am GOOD... I am not all the things that my parents want and I do not have to keep their guilt, I do not have to accept their responsibility.
And you know what... I feel good... in fact maybe we should have a good thread.... so here it is, the good thread.... it's over to you, let's hear how great you are! xx

hi all!! What a novel thread!!! Not nearly enough self appreciation and acknowledgement in my books! Not that it;s all about me...hee hee!- wee Nissitic segue!!! How would I describe myself- stuff I like? I'm eccentric, curious, a reader, a Joan of Arc, an artist, quirky, outspoken, goofy, a healer, a cat mother and all around animal lover, passionate about everything, a restless traveler. I love what others have written1 I hope we keep this up!! Have a gerat weekend. This has made me smile reading about all of you! Makes me wish we could all have a big pyjama party!!!! Hee hee!!

I always find it interesting that there are so many creative types that frequent this board--writers, artists, musicians, probably even some actors. Maybe I'm just jealous that I do not share those right?-brained gifts. However, I am:
Intelligent
Organized (well, except my house, but you have to let down somewhere)
A great mom
A great friend
Very willing to give of my time
A true animal lover
Spiritual
Passionate--about life, and those I love
And mostly I am grateful--for getting a second, third or fourth chance at finding lifelong happiness and still having the willingness to try.

Very difficult.
The person I would like to think that I am is compassionate, empathic, tough as old boots, takes no nonsense from anyone, speaks the truth with love at all times, puts other people first, can care about herself (hmm, bit of a white lie there, but I would like to do that), is a good enough mother, and is a good friend to her friends. Loyal, trustworthy, caring, sane, spiritual, creative and with integrity.
However, to many of those around me, very little of this is visible. And my reality is not strong enough to always tell which is true, and which is false.
