I think we need this post...or maybe *I* do but...let's dig deep down for today....and find something we like about ourselves. We all have value. I know I personally have been struggling a lot.....depression can make us feel "less than"...but there are great people underneath that.



Soooooo...........I am kind to animals.

I've always liked my understanding and caring nature. Although it leads to kindness getting abused... Still though.

Wow..this is really difficult. I know I'm a good person..but that is too easy to come up with..so I had to try harder.
Actually, its a great post....but I don't like it because I guess I tend to focus on the negative...and this just really pointed that out to me and made me a little more depressed...I kept coming up with the bad things about me OMG...I'm such a mess. :(

I'm a good problem solver/investigator.

Not to sound narcissistic, but I like A LOT OF things about myself! I'm brave, athletic, reasonably intelligent, artistic, can think broadly or deeply, and always looking for new challenges.

    Just thought I would join this group now that I am a widower.  My wife passed away May 28th. She was "The Wind Beneath My Wings".  When I met her, I was a drunken, dope smoking, fighting, hell raising biker.  She told me if I could get rid of the inner storm within me, that I could be a blessing to people. God placed her in my path to stop me.  I have been drug and alcohol free now for 53...

    My husband and I got our foster license last month, after 3 years of hard work (we had to start over multiple times due to family dramas and Mom's open heart surgery). We spent a year preparing the whole house, guest rooms, and children's bathroom for older kids of 7 yr old and up. Then we got a call that we have been approved to receive twin newborn premies. What, what?!! Babies!? Premies?!...
