I've always hated
pictures of myself. I guess I've never, ever, been comfortable with my perception of my physical self. After reading Candace's blog, I fear I may have passed some of that on. Then I read Caitlin's blog and decided this perception of ourselves as women is more universal. Why do we do this to ourselves?

So to bolster myself, I'm going to be a bit self-centered and share some of the things I like about myself:

• a testimony of Jesus Christ that has centered my life
• a sense of humor - that has rescued me from self-pity and heartache more times that I can share.
• intelligence and a love of learning
• a work ethic - sometimes I go overboard with this one!
• a love of nature - Heavenly Father has given us a beautiful world
• wisdom (at least a little wisdom) that has been gained through hard times

Gosh, it's much harder to think of positive attributes, isn't it?

I hope each of you will take the time to pat yourselves on the back for what you have and what you have each accomplished in your lives. You are examples to me in so many ways and my life is enriched by yours.

Now, make it a good day!
