I am thanking God for the 10 things you like about yourself! Including mine, that's 60 things we've collectively found to be be thankful for about us.
Keep it up. If you haven't already posted 10 things you like about yourself, share them now. (see http://beautifulp31.blogspot.com/2008/07/move-on-sista.html for details).
It's not so easy to think of 10 things to like about yourself. I could think of 100 things to like about someone else, why is it so hard to do for me? Because typically we don't think the best of ourselves. We need to change that. This is a start.
10 Things you like about yourself...keep 'em coming!
Love,
Melissa

Hi,
I loved this exercise, it really makes you focus on the good qualities that you have. It helps to put your focus off of the bad things.
Here are mine☺, know that it was challenging, but alot of fun:
1. I like my unique personality, even if people don’t always get me.☺
2. I like that even when I feel like I have no strength left in myself, I still manage to be there for someone in need. That is only God’s grace.☺
3. I like the fact that even though I am overweight [yip me too…hehe] I am not afraid to be myself.
4. Also, I like the fact that I am not afraid to dress stylish, regardless of my body size.
5. I like that on good days that I manage to love myself like a best friend, even if the bad days I find it difficult, I still like the fact that I manage to love myself at all. It can be accomplished ladies!☺
6. I like that I am teachable to learn from God and those that walk with me on this road, and am not put off of the challenges that approach me, although they are difficult to face.
7. I like that I am someone who loves to laugh just as hard as I love to cry.
8. I like that I don’t allow circumstances to stop me from following God, yet at times it does feel like I want to quit, but by God’s grace I always manage to get through it.
9. I like the fact that I like super-hero movies and that that is a like that I share with my dad.☺☺ there is just something special in knowing that you as a daughter share a like with your dad. What can I say?
10. I like that I have love to spoil those that I love and don’t mind if no-one gives anything back, but just to see the look on their faces when u show them that you love them is reward enough for me.
Richest Blessing in Christ!

You are right Melissa, This was a lot harder than I thought it would be. I had to go beyond 10 because I kept feeling like I was liking things that I do, not liking things about myself... even with fancy wording, does it really count?
Bear with me, I think you will laugh at the end.
I like:
1. the gift i have for singing
2. the gift I have for playing piano
3. my eyes
4. my faithfulness to my family

8. the gift of writing I recently discovered
9. that I am loyal to my friends
10. my laugh and that it is uniquely contagious (my husband calls it my snort/squeak)
and here is where i had to force myself to really dig deeper...
1. my love of learning
2. compassion for others placed in my heart by God

4. the kernel of hope God planted in me to see the fulfillment of His promises
5. that I am strong (made so because of my past)
6. that I don't give up easily
7. that I am a survivor
8. that I am a good wife and mom
9. that God is teaching me more about intercessory prayer and the heart He is giving me for it and prayer in general
10. that I am a "good student" (I do the "homework" someone asks me to do) and that I am an OVER-ACHIEVER!!!
My counselor would be proud, because at the end of November (only 8 months ago) I could hardly come up with 3 things I liked about myself.
This took me ever since I first saw your other post, and I have been mulling these over since then... and working on them until I coudl finally get them out on paper.
God bless,
Heather
