...because every once in a while we need to remind ourselves what makes us, us.
1. I like my eyes. I feel that they are almost like a hidden surprise about me, so many people do not know my eye color because all they see are the glasses. I love the surprise when people really get a good look out how different my eyes look. Plus, when I look in the mirror, I see my mom's eyes looking back at me.
2. I like my ability to laugh at myself. I have found over the years if you take yourself to seriously people will laugh at you and that can hurt. But if you can recognize how zany life is and take every opportunity to laugh, well things never seem that bad.
3. I like the fact I enjoy eating. I know I should be concerned about my weight and I am...but I am so unwilling to sacrifice what I really love, and that is food. I like the textures, colors, smells, tastes of food. I love how food can bring strangers together and make them a family and I love the joy it brings me.
4. I like my ability to get really silly. One of my favorite things to do is turn on some of my favorite songs and just go crazy. Dancing around my apartment. I like falling on to my couch completely cracking up at what a bad dancer I am.
5. I like my smile. If you can keep smiling, well then things can't be that bad. Plus, it is only one step away from laughing.
6. I like my imagination. I enjoy when I am by myself, or even sometimes when I am with people, telling myself stories aloud. Becoming a part of the story. Sometimes it feels so real. I like it when it becomes so overwhelming that I have no choice but to sit down and write out what is flowing through me.
7. I like the fact I can make people happy. Well mostly my best friend. I like when she calls and when she hangs up she feels better because she talked to me. And if she isn't feeling better at least she is laughing out how crazy I am.
8. I like the fact I am a klutz. No really I do. I like the fact I can look at my friends and say, "I struggle." And they know right away that I did something. Plus...I love how funny the situations are that I some how I get myself in to.
9. I like my toes. Now seeings how much I hate feet this is saying something. I like the fact I never really ever have to bend over as long as I am barefoot. My toes are monkey toes...I can pick up just about anything.
10. I like my desire to learn about people. I am constantly in search of understanding people and their life stories. Whether that is through history or talking to them....there is something satisfying in finding out why people are the way they are. By finding out more about people I find out more about me.
As Mae West said, "I don't like myself, I'm crazy about myself."
So what are you crazy about when it comes to you?
