So, at the risk of coming across as bragging or full of myself, I am going to list things I like about myself, or that I think and I am going to *try* not to put any kind of caveat or any negative thing on here.
1. I have a quick and infectious smile.
2. My laugh is unique and it comes easily.
3. I care VERY deeply about things and people, even people who are not in my life any longer or people who are not in my close circle of friends.
4. Once I have given my heart to something or someone, it is almost impossible for me to take it back.
5. I am one of the most loyal people I know.
6. I *hate* injustice with a passion. I really, really, really hate injustice.
7. I believe doing the right thing is more important than doing the easiest thing, at the risk of self-expense.
8. I am one of the most responsible people I know...and I will not break my word if there is any way I can help it.
9. I am gifted with wisdom and knowing right from wrong.
10. I am gifted in teaching, and not just kids.
11. I am analytical and love fully understanding things.
12. If I believe in something, it's because I have taken the time to really understand...I don't just blindly follow.
13. I *hate* when people do not get along...I am a peacemaker.
14. I *hate* false-ness.....I try to be the kind of person that is exactly what you see, I am sincere and heartfelt.
15. I love listening to people and really *hearing* them.
16. I try as hard as possible to take people individually and love them where they are.
17. I love being able to explain things to people and watch them "get it."
18. I am passionate about the things I love and I am committed to them and do not like quitting or giving up on them.
19. I love animals.
20. I love sports....I love figuring out rules and strategy.
21. I am uber responsible, but I have a huge wild streak too which leads me to do crazy things like quit great jobs to nanny in England, or travel to Europe for 3 months.....or other things.
22. I love the nations. I love people in the nations. I have fallen in love with every people group in every nation I have ever been to.
23. I'm like a mother hen...I take people under my wing.
24. I love seeing people's hearts and not just looking with my physical eyes, but really getting to know people.
25. I love trying food from different places, it's maybe my favorite thing about travel.
26. I love reading.
27. I rescue things....even spiders from my house are not immune....I tend to root for the underdog.
28. I believe communication can solve a lot of problems. If we'd just talk instead of assuming, a lot could be fixed.
29. I love kids and I am not afraid to just get on the floor and play with them.
30. I *love* my nephews. Passionately.
31. I am good at figuring things out....movies that surprise me at the end are my favorites because I can usually see the plot to most movies a mile away....so if they can surprise me, I'm hooked (think "sixth sense").
32. My all time favorite movies, though, are those based on true historical events or based off of literature....Amazing Grace, Young Victoria, Miracle, Blind Side...all faves.
33. I love exploring a place and learning all I can about it. I never met a museum I didn't want to explore...learning new things constantly is stimulating to me.
34. I love nature....bird-watching, gardening, camping, hiking....all faves.
35. I love coffee.
36. I love spending quality time with people....it's my love language.
Well, I think that's all for now. That's my off-the-top-of-my-head list. I'm sure there's more, but it's a start. I am GOING to have victory over this area of insignificance....I may be fighting it on my deathbed, but if I go down, I'm going to go down fighting.
Blessings,
Erin
