Continuing with the Thirty Days of Truth writing exercise Day Two is all about ‘What You Love About Yourself’. Truthfully, I’m having a real hard time with this one. I can think of a million things I don’t like about myself right now. I’m not in the most positive mood this week. I feel like one of the many dry leaves that litters my sidewalk and that’s about it.
I love my feet. I have always thought despite their size ten status they are quite pretty. They are long and bony and they remind me of Marilyn Monroe’s feet.
However, I think the point of this exercise is to find something beyond the physical. I think I can bake pretty well but I’m not actually sure that people like the things I make. They eat them, so I guess so? I keep a really clean house people tell me. But that isn’t something I particularly love about myself. I used to be organized. I prided myself on that but now not so much and it has become a source of irritation that I forget so much on a daily basis.
I know!
I love that I am loyal. I have never cheated on a person. I’m not loyal like a dog’s loyal but I will keep and maintain my friendships for long periods of time. I cherish these people who I consider my friends even if we have limited contact and I pride myself on keeping the relationships alive. I will reach out no matter how much time has gone by and let someone know I am thinking of them and that I care about them. I frequently have to stop myself from showering my friends with gifts and assorted nonessential items because I would be breaking my bank. I just want people to know they are important to me and I value them. I am loyal to my friends and family. If you don’t have them, what do you have?
Aww! And that's why I love you (says your lunch date that can't get her schedule to mesh with yours). 🙂
