Ten Compliments to Myself. Why was that so terrifying?

Stasha’s assignment this Monday’s Listicle is to list TEN COMPLIMENTS.

Of anyone.

Even the dog.

I’m stretching 35 miles out of my comfort zone and compliment myself.

Just writing that I got a bit of a punch in my upper torso.

Good grief.

 

10.  I make really good pimento cheese. No the best.

 

9.    I got up at 5 a.m. this morning to drive my son back to school. Five and a half hours round trip. I managed to keep my emotions in check when he got out of the car at his dorm.

Though I did have to say goodbye to him in sign language.

 

8.    I had Mom and Dad here all weekend. And had tons of patience. They seemed to really enjoy themselves.

 

7.    I am a diligent flosser. Most days.

 

6.    I keep a path cleared from the back door to the refrigerator and television for my husband when he gets home from work.

 

5.     After my son went to college, I vowed that we would do better about eating dinner together as a family each night. Most nights we are all together at mealtime.

 

 

4.    After a lot of challenges in school and with behavior, I committed to work with my youngest on improving his attitude in and out of classroom. He is having a great year.  Thank God.

 

3.   Though I’m committed to working out to stay in shape, I have cultivated a much healthier perspective on body image.

 

2.    As a very unstructured person my nature, I’ve tried super-duper hard to create an ordered environment and expectation of homework and study time for the remaining children at home.

Since my oldest is gone and there’s really nothing more I can do for him.

 

1.  That I complimented myself. As stupidly painful as it was.

 

Okay, your turn.   What good say you — about you?
