Now for the things I love about ME...
1. I love that I have an appreciation for nature and all things natural. With so many factories and computers and perfumes and concrete buildings it's nice to just look at the trees and stars and listen to birds sing and notice how flowers grow. I've become a bird watcher over the past couple of years and I never realized how many different sounds they make and how many different colors their fethers have...it brings you back to the very first type of music and artwork! Think about it!
2. I love that I care...about everything. I care about the animals that are being abused...I care about the children in the world that are going hungry...I care about the destruction of the rain forests...I care about the elderly that have no strenth to care for themselves anymore. I also care about what people think and what they feel. When someone is sad, I am sad... When someone is happy I am happy. I even care about the butterflies taht get killed in the grills of our vehicles every day.
3. I love that I am opinionated. If we all saw things the very same way, with no individual opinions, the world would be a boring place. Sometimes my opinion gets me into trouble but I feel strongly that everyone should have a voice and be heard...even if it gets them nowhere.
4. I love that I have rythym. You can't truly enjoy music if you can't keep a beat. If you don't have rythym you can't descifer between the different instuments used in a song. I love that I can move my body in tune to any beat. I may not be the best dancer in the world but with the rythym I have I celebrate life every day.
5. I have really cute feet. I love them! Most people hate feet so I feel that I have accomplished a great thing to love that part of myself.
6. I love that I have a love for animals. All Animals! I can't explain this one...I just feel a strong connection to every animal I see. Maybe I was a monkey or cat or something in my former life.
I think that it's important to recognize the loves of yourself as well as the hates of yourself. For every one thing that you hate about yourself you should come up with two things that you love. It balances the force of nature! So when you think about what you'd like to change about YOU, think of all the things about YOU that are just right the way they are. I'll be posting my "loves" again...and I send out a challenge to anyone that this...I challenge you to post a "What I Love About Me" once a week...It's time to start feeling better about ourselves! And to keep it real, try to post a "Hate" once in a while also...we are not perfect!
