Excellent posts!!! Thank you for sharing everyone!!! Here is mine... gulp. I know I talk alot. SORRY in advance!
5 things I love about myself:
1. I love my dedication to see things through. You just can't tell me it can't be done. That motivates me more to find a way to move mountains. I have instilled this in my now grown children just by them watching mama do the impossible. My son is a Marine and a Chef. He's also a father to a spunky 3 year old little girl who is my world! My daughter is in her last year of high school. She has been in J.R.O.T.C. for three out the four years and is one semester short of obtaining her hours to go to College to obtain her Beauticians license. She's a kick butt beauty. Did I mention I love my family?
2. I love how in the most darkest of times I have the ability to see the bright side of the situation. Not only do I have to face darkness daily in my work. But, by choice I also counsel spiritually. I am a Deputy Sheriff and Hostage Negotiator, Domestic Violence Officer and a Spiritual Advisor (High Priestess). I am currently working on my Personal Trainer Certification and I also have a interactive blog (runfatgirlrun-inana.blogspot.com).
3. I love that I can take the time out of my day to encourage those that feel like they aren't worth anything, because they are worth something to me. I LOVE to see other people smile, that REALLY makes me happy.
4. I LOVE to act or say something random or stupid sometimes to get a reaction out of a stranger. Then I just laugh and walk away and leave them scratching their heads.... Does this count?
5. Last but not least, I love that I have found my youth! After 28 years of smoking and at 208 lbs, I couldn't climb 6 steps without being out of breath. That was 3 years ago. I'm proud to say that next month I'm running in a 10k (6 miles for those that don't know).
Ok ladies, I'm excited to read more posts!!! Lets keep them coming.
5 things
my eyes
my mad mommy skills
