I Matter!!!!

Okay. So lately (more like the last year or so) I have been contemplating everything. And I won't go into specifics because the whole world doesn't need to know everything, but I will say that I have a need to be happy with MYSELF. I may be happy in life in general but how many of us are truly happy with ourselves???. So I am working on that. Like my good friend said weight is just a number! Therefore anybody can be happy no matter what their weight number is as long as they feel good about themselves inside. It's the interior beauty that truly counts!!!! And that is why I am working on this and I am also going to put this saying on my mirror or somewhere convenient like that, "How do I expect everyone else to feel good about me if I don't feel good about myself?" Okay so here is my list so far.....

1- Work on my anger, patience, and short comings (I have been working on my temperment and patience for a few months but still have lots of room for improvement)

2- Learn how to fully take a compliment for what it is instead of rationalizing it down to nothing!

3- What ANYone else thinks of me doesn't matter!!! I am me and I should be happy with who I am. Besides there is always somebody who loves me unconditionally so I can always turn to Him!!!!

4-To tell myself repeatedly everyday that I am smart, beautiful, bold, sarcastically humorous, Great with sensitivity, nurturing, a good mom, a good and patient wife, caring, lovable, and courageous... I need to make myself believe they are all true!!

5- Work on being a better mother and wife and friend!!!

6- Work on my attitude!!!!

7- Put myself in Mike's shoes more often!

The more I think of I will try to remember to write it down and add to this list. And thank you to Nancy!!! You are a great friend, I don't know how I managed for so long without you!!!! We are going to do this and be completely happy with ourselves and show everyone our confidence!!
