about me.
The whole point of the #52WeeksA4A blog challenge was to push myself out of my comfort zone, so while this is short, it is uncomfortable, for sure.
5 Things I Like About Me:
- My Family. Sure, some family we have by blood, but as we age, our family becomes who we choose- from close friends to our life partner. I love who I am surrounded by and hope to spend the rest of my days in the pleasure of their company.
- My Passion. Some call it annoying, others call me emotional… but I’m just really passionate. And I like that!
- My Organization. Years ago, my inability to be flexible with putting things away and letting a little mess go was a big sticking point with my friends- they used to mock me. Now I get compliments on how clean my house is. Sure, I stay up far too late because if my house is messy I cannot sleep, but it’s pretty cool that at least someone notices (and it’s never my kids!).
- My Strength. Literally. I am strong. As a child, I got a lot of my brute force power from my Dad- carrying wood, playing hockey, rough housing- and I carry that, still. Whether it’s unloading the car, while carrying 2 kids or pushing myself a few more miles, having the strength and endurance to do that amazes me. I don’t think much of myself, often, but when I think about what I am capable of, I feel powerful!
- My Motherhood. My journey in motherhood has been wild. Every moment seems jammed with minuscule movements that define more and more pieces of me that I am just growing into. My adulthood is rocky, and my missteps plenty, but if there’s one thing that has not been a mistake in these 31 years, it’s my girls.

I love this idea! I’m going to have to do this for myself too. It’s just too easy to think about myself in negative terms. Argh. Thanks for the encouragement and the inspiration!

Making a list of things you like about being you is very empowering. It makes you more confident about who you are and I think that’s really awesome.
It IS empowering!

I’m the total opposite of you now. I used to be a manic about cleaning and keeping everything spotless. i used to spend hours every single day cleaning. I finally had to let that go – i was driving myself nutso and missing out on so much!
I get that!

I think as women, we tend to sell ourselves short. Good for you for exposing your strengths.

Thank you for this inspiring post. We do tend to focus on negative things about ourselves which really does not help much. I really have to love myself more and think about the good things I have right now.
