Gosh, I hope I get this right.

Best:

1. I love those special to me with 954% of my heart and would do anything for them.

2. I am the grammar queen...and fairly intellingent in general, to boot.

3. I have a decent voice that's been known to be able to sing others to sleep or relax them when they've had a stressful day.

4. I'm shy, though you might never know it...and that helps me to be able to keep my mouth shut and opinions to myself a great deal of the time.

5. I work hard and give 110% of myself, doing whatever is necessary to make sure things are done and others excel.


Worst:

1. I am *extremely* critical of myself, and when others compliment me, I have a hard time accepting that.

2. I put others' needs before my own to perhaps an unhealthy degree.

3. I am terribly sensitive, and my feelings are hurt waaaaay too easily.

4. In order to keep the peace, I sometimes let others dominate a conversation, decision, etc.

5. Anxiety and self-doubt sometimes overwhelm me.

They just promised it would be worth it." ~ Unknown author

1. I actively work at loving and showing love to the people in my life.

2. I really like my eyes - the color is good, and all my life I've been told I have VERY expressive eyes.

3. Like IAKG I have a really good singing voice, been told I should go professional with it ... but love doing it - don't want to make it into a have to do it type of thing.

4. I have been blessed with a really good memory ... so learning new things is fairly easy for me.

5. I have a wickedly intense imagination - that frequently veers to the bizarrely humorous side.

The bad things .....

1. I am tolerant of others to the point of allowing them to walk all over me at times.

2. If I give my loyalty to someone then it takes me forever to take it back ... which is good unless the person is abusing it .... gratefully I've gotten pretty good over the years at not giving my loyalty quite as easily as I used to do.

3. I have very high expectations of myself and when I don't meet up to them, I tend to be rather down on myself ... forgetting any good that I managed to accomplish in the process.

4. I would love to be taller, thinner, and

5. I never seem to have enough energy these days.

Best things about me...

1. I have a great sense of humor

2. I am friendly and polite

3. I genuinely care for people that mean a lot to me, and would walk through fire for them.

4. I love my children...and they know it.

5. I'm very analytical in my thinking, and often see unobvious aspects of situations.


And...the not so good:

1. My sense of humor is abstract, and not many people get me.

2. I'm very shy, probably the result of being very unsure of myself physically and because I'm afraid someone won't understand me.

3. I appear insensitive to people because of the barriers I put up to avoid getting hurt, which can happen easily if someone close to me wants to.

4. I'm not thrilled with myself, physically.

5. Because I can see unobvious aspects of situations...I often miss the obvious aspects.
