I find as I get older, there are certain things I love about me, like:
- how comfortable I feel in my skin
- how accepting I am of my body, with all of its 'flaws', they make me me
- how forgiving I am to myself
- how I am quick to forgive others
- how I am quick to pass out smiles to anyone that need them
- how I love walking into a crowded room & greeting everyone w/a smile
- how compassionate I am for the elderly
- and children
- and babies
- and for those who don't have as much I
- how even though I don't have much, I feel richer than Donald Trump
- how I will always carry in my heart that a co-worker told a friend that I may not have much financially, but I'm one of the richest people he knows
- how easy I find it to laugh at myself
- how I can take any situation & make it funny
- how quick I am to pass out compliments
- how good I am at encouraging others at their goals
- how I usually am filled with a peaceful, easy feeling
- how there are so many things I see in my mother that I am becoming
- like our love for all things inspirational
- how I love God/Jesus & find all things regarding a relationship w/him fascinating
- how I am aware of Jesus filling my heart with such emotion & care that my heart aches
- how I dream of hitting the lottery so I can feed folks more food than their belly could hold
- how I pray about the welfare of special need young adults all over the world
- how I stockpile cards & stationary to randomly send out 'pick-me-ups'
- how I still hear my parents' voices telling me no matter what job I'm doing - do it w/love
- discovering my creativity & being surprised when others appreciate it, too
- how I pray about the welfare of anyone struggling or having a hard time
- how I never meet a stranger
- how I can make any stranger feel at ease as if we've known each other all our lives
- how I take nothing for granted (this needs work every day)
- how I don't sweat the petty things
- and how I don't pet the sweaty things :-)
- and finally, how I feel so at peace w/myself that sometimes I feel like I glow
- because I love me some me.
Sunday Scribbling prompt: "Love".

ReplyDeleteTHat's a fantastic post! Hi! I found you through Sharon's blog ... and I'm loving it here :-) I'm noticing many changes in me as well for the better as I age ... just the other day I was thinking how come that they tell us that aging is so bad ... it's not, it's wonderful! happy day!!!
ReplyDeletethank you, both Deborah & Birdie! I recognized you, Birdie! good to see you here. I love how I feel right now in my life; i wouldn't want to trade youth for wisdom to save my life! One of the best things of aging, I think, is being comfortable w/yourself, which IS a wonderful happy day :-)
