20 things I love about myself.

I saw this post on a blog I read a lot, The Frisky. I decided I should do it too, because everyone should know what they love about themselves. Well, the author's list was great and I thought coming up with 30 things wouldn't be that hard. But as I got to about #14 I started feeling like I was singing my own praises just a little too much, like, I am so effing awesome I just have to tell you all about it. And I was also running out of things to list.... So here is my own list of 20.

1. I am an extremely loyal person.
2. I am very intuitive - the ability to read into people/situations has helped me too many times to count.
3. I’ll try almost anything once (if not twice, just to be sure).
4. I am a very hard worker.
5. My love for animals and the fact that they love me right back.
6. My empathy and compassion for others.
7. I have learned to think for myself and I do not allow others to influence me.
8. The fact that people know that they can count on me.
9. My hair (esp. with the current blue in it!)
10. I am extremely adventurous.
11. My handwriting.
12. That I can keep myself company and have learned how to be my own friend.
13. I love to learn, and I don't need to be in school to keep doing it.
14. The little things really do make me happy.
15. I know my ancestry.
16. I was able to travel around in Europe not because I was lucky, but because I really worked hard for it.
17. My artistic abilities.
18. My skin.
19. My eyes, and eyelashes.
20. The fact that people come to me for advice, esp. about makeup or style.

I've started a new endeavor.

jcphistory.wordpress.com

I've started researching my family history, and this is my new blog about it. It's going to be really good.

I'll still update this one from time to time, but right now I'm devoting all of my energy to this project. I hope you follow me over there as I'm serious about it, and I never really was about this one.

thank you.
I'm excited.
