Day 02 → Something you love about yourself.
Believe it or not, there are several things I love about myself. The first one would be I love that I am a super organized individual. I can't stand clutter or things that are messy in my home. My closet is organized by color & by types of clothing. I cook with a washcloth in my hand to clean up spills & splatters right when they occur. I keep my husband sane by always knowing where things are located when he asks me - which is ALL the time. Everything in my life has a place & if things get out of place they are quickly moved back just so that I can feel like all is right in my little world once again :)
I love that I have a passive personality. Those that know me knows it takes a lot to get me worked up or excited about something. It is also a very calming trait to have when you are married to someone who is the exact opposite. As I have gotten older, I have become much more "passive" about things & this drives Shane crazy. He can't understand how I can be so calm all the time about stuff & then thinks I don't care when I don't show a reaction. In my line of work, I have come to realize that life is too short, you can't change the inevitable & you shouldn't sweat the small stuff because most of the time, it is all small stuff.
I love that I am tenderhearted & sensitive & that I allow myself to feel. I am touched & inspired by other peoples struggles - especially health related. I shed a tear (or two) watching the Biggest Loser or Army Wives or even that Peta commercial with Sarah McLachlan & the abandoned dogs. I get teary eyed when people tell me about their sad situations or about losing a pet. I get all weepy when loved ones give hugs & kisses to my patient right before their procedure - especially the elderly. Some might be embarrassed by this kind of sensitivity but not me. To feel moved or touched by something & to feel compassion is to feel alive & I welcome the feeling.
