Five Things I Like About Myself...
1- although it sometimes makes me angry with myself as well.. I like that I don't or can't stay angry too long. I tend to quickly forgive and am ready to move on. I can summons that anger up years later, but usually STILL feel the need to let it go quickly.
2- my ability to turn a situation around and see potential good or at least a sliver of hope around the ugly, dirty edges. This includes people who have forgotten just how great they are.
3- my extensive musical taste. I love just about any music and enjoy hearing the reasons people adore certain singers, bands, or songs. I have heard ONE song in my entire life that I could not find anything lovely about. It was a Japanese piece meant to echo the sounds beetles make when mating. I heard it at Meredith College for an introductory teaching class. It made my teeth hurt and the thoughts that somebody somewhere actually enjoys that "music" STILL has my mind a little shaken.
4- my sense of humor. I know it's not everybody's cup of tea, but I can often pair sarcasm with just the right amount of concern to provide levity in situations that are anything but comical. I most always laugh first at myself so there are rarely victims to my humor punches.
5- my crazy hair. For years I fought it and spent hours...literally... trying to tame it. After I had the boys, I gave up and it has been "au naturale" at varying lengths for about 13 years now. My hair is kinky, fuzzy, curly, multi-colored, and totally unpredictable. I think it mimics my personality at this time in my life and I tell anyone who wants to criticize, "God made it... take it up with him if you don't like it!"
