I've borrowed this one from one of the US forums and I thought it might help me this week.
It's really hard to think of 10 things (in fact I thought of calling it 5 things... but here goes!

1. My feet - always spend a lot of time on toenail varnish, wear anklets and toe rings and have a large tattoo up my right foot and ankle.

2. I'm good with kids ( just as well - I teach years 5 and 6) which has enormous potential for empowering the people of the future...(wow - that's a heavy one

3. I make really good rattatouille

4. I'm good with colour

5. I like my hair colour (not natural, but chosen by me)

6. My skin

7. I like the fact that I'm enjoying getting older - I'm much more interesting than I used to be.

8. (Today) I feel quite beautiful

9. My head is straighter than it has been in years.

10. (Struggling to find stuff now...) I'm resilient - always bounce back.

It would be good to hear what you like about you - trivial or deep, 1, 2, 3 or 10 things.

Heres a few things I like about me.

I like the fact that I can talk to other people and strike up conversations with strangers very easily. In this world where some people go days without speaking to others (so the papers say) I always try and make an effort to chat to someone I don't know, even about the price of milk, how miserable the weather is or that the bus is late. If they answer in monosyabales I tend to perserve for a couple of questions and then give in, but at least I try.

I like that my hair isn't showing any grey yet and it's all natural

I like my green eyes

I like my cheerful nature

I like my ability to look on the bright side and see an alternative to the dismal down side of things (examples, veggies job loss is an oppotunity for her to move on to big & better things - sorry that's just me)

I like to be the optimistic, the bus is coming it hasn't broken down - just a small example

I like the fact I am ambitious

I like the way I can organise a busy job and family & home life - without getting too stressed

I like the way I stand out in a crowd - not always for the best reasons though - although I do like to be different

I like the way I stand by my convicitions and am not willing to change my opinions without a positive alternative veiw being given = doesn't mean I am stubborn though

Is that enough - wasn't too difficult once I got started

Good thread - I'm doing this as a bit of an exercise, as I've been finding life a bit stressful lately, and my negativity towards myself seems to have skyrocketed as a result!

I like that I am intelligent

I like my face - I think it's warm and open

I like that I have a good head for trivia (I'm great at pop quizzes!)

I'm a very good cook (a bit TOO good, perhaps)

I like that I can entertain myself and not get bored

I have a great sense of humour

I enjoy my work and I'm good at it

I am in the best place emotionally, than I have ever been

I am caring and considerate of other people

I have really great taste, in clothes, in furnishings, in men


There we have it - 10 great things about me. I must say, I found it easier than I thought I would!!

Wishing you guys all the best
