Day 19

I want you to start another list.

Get out a piece of paper.

Write on it:

Things I Like About Myself

Then put down at least five things -- you can put them here if you wish. Just keep going if you get past five ;-)

    Ok, fine!

    1. My smile

    2. My outgoing personality

    3. My sense of humor/that sometimes borders on downright silliness.

    4. My ability to see beyond others actions to the hurt behind them.

    5. My love of the "ordinary"

    Here's what I have:

    Things I Like About Myself

    1. My perseverance
    2. My sense of humor
    3. My ability to be compassionate
    4. My eyes
    5. My generosity
