this is a great post. we tend to focus on the negative. i am so greatful for all God has blessed me with. i'm searching for all the good i can find within myself, i'm an amazing person. strong, positive, self-determined. i don't need a relationship to define myself. i'm thankful to all of you here, through your own pain you come shining through for others. xoxoxoxoxoxoxox

It something I am trying to change I think we all tend think about what we are not instead of just thinking what we should be greatfully for

I can remember the dates of things in the past and I try to see the good in people.

This is good. Positive feels so much better than negative.

I am loving person.

I'm with tegian. I have the ability to see good things in all of life, and that serves me well.

I have not always been a perfect mother, but I am a good Mom. When you need me I am there, and I listen to you with kindness and caring, not judgment.

I have chosen to be positive, to not engage in negative thinking and it literally changed my life and the people in my life. Hugs for a great post! Kimmee

Great idea!

I am empathetic and I am a fighter.

I think for some people, when you are in so much emotional pain, it's hard to see the blessings and beauty around them. Time has to pass, feelings have to be processed, and then one is able to really notice what is around him/her. I know for me, I couldn't get out of my own way. I have no idea how I made it through some of the rough patches. I'm still going through it, but it's not as bad as it was...I think.

Hmmm, great dad, and almost impossible to anger.

I am a good mom, I love to laugh, smile, I am a survivor..

I am perfect. lol

I am a compassionate person who wants to make a difference in people's lives. I am doing that by volunteering for Big Brothers Big Sisters and as a Tutor for English as a Second Language.

I truly care about other people, even people I don't like (wait is that a good thing? lol).

I listen well and am always there for people in need of advice or a shoulder to cry on. I am a strong woman who can say no when I need to.

I'm the mother of an amazing Marine son; I'm a loving, compassionate, honest and loyal person (well, loyal until I get kicked in the head a few times).

I am a good friend and a compassionate person. I have a lot of patience.

And I have an odd talent of remember the words to a song after hearing it only once :-)
