Lyrical Sunday meets JBE Monday.

Six months ago I accepted a challenge to write a list of ten things I liked about myself. I've re-read it and it feels weird to read it.

The challenge has returned and I am picking up the gauntlet. This may read a little stilted as I am much better at praising others and buoying them up than being nice to myself.

Me, Myself and I... (or things I like about me) 

I am gentle, empathetic and kind.

I am quietly confident about most things.

I am loud, opinionated and colour blind

I am a believer in karma and the universe's ability to bite you in the arse

I am their biggest cheerleader and my harshest critic

I am strong, even if I appear weak at times 

I try to see the good in everything, even if I have to dig really deep.

I am generous with my time, shoulder, ear and hugs.

I am the best mother for my son.

I am learning to be the best wife for my husband.

I am a good friend.

I have been there and seen that. 

I want to go there and see more.

I can embrace change with a bit of encouragement.

I can help pick up the pieces and hold it all together.

I am comfortable being alone.

I like spending time with others.

I am the touchstone for a special few.
