Autumn

- Perseverance and the ability to forge ahead - even in trying circumstances - and still find hope for a promising future.
- The realization that I am still worthy and lovable, despite my flaws.
- Quirky sense of humor.
- I love to tend the earth and grow flowers and vegetables.
- My eyes are a really awesome shade of blue, and I'm attractive.
- I take pride in my work, do a quality job and exceed expectations.
- I don't kill living creatures.
- I am loyal, trustworthy and responsible.
- I have old-fashioned virtues in what I would consider a higher moral standard and I am modest, increasingly rare qualities in today's society.
- I love to read, and very rarely watch TV. I have never seen an episode of Seinfeld or Friends.
- I think outside the box, and am drawn toward more intelligent and refined individuals than myself.
- I'm artistic and imaginative, and good at photography, drawing (especially pen and ink), creative writing, etc. I also write (print) very neatly.
- In the health care field, I cared for sick and injured individuals with compassion and efficiency.
- I love and cherish the gifts of laughter, dreams, sunshine, a star-filled sky, family, animals, empathy, friends, learning and love.
- As each day passes, I become ever more grateful for the abundance life has to offer, and everything and everyone who contributes to my growth.


Thanks for this thread Amanda..... it was a much needed exercise. Some days I'm hard-pressed to think of even a few things, and most days I don't even bother. I thought of more stuff too, but I thought I'd keep it to a low roar, lol.

c'est la vie

This is the third time I've come to this thread and I just can't write anything. I'm impressed with those of you who have enough self confidence to write such positive things about yourself.

I guess I can say that I like the fact that I haven't given up on myself trying to become a better wife and mother. And my kids say I make the best cheesecake.

I've been keeping up with this thread and it's lovely to see the feedback from people about what they like about themselves. For those that have found it a challenging thread I'd like to say, please go easy on yourself, you're here, you're actively choosing recovery, if you didn't care about you you wouldn't be here doing that and you know what - we are *all* special, in one way or another. I hope we all can recognise that. I can feel another thread coming on :-)
