Happiness and the List

I have been unhappy for a while now and all of it is of my own making. I have to find a way to make myself happy again. I am making a list of all of the good things about me that I know of to help:

• I am caring
• I am pretty
• I am smart
• I am witty
• I am diligent
• I am loving
• I am strong (still working on that)
• I am creative
• I am reliable
• I am loyal
• I am sexy
• I'm a good mom
• I am a good mate (hopefully that will show itself again)
• I am a good cook
• I'm a good lover
• I'm a good daughter
• I stand up for myself and others
• I'm good with numbers
• I'm good with words

Now for the bad things which will help me put things into perspective:

• I have a bad temper
• I cuss too much
• I am too quick to judge others
• I listen to others when I should follow my heart
• I'm not the best house keeper
• I'm not the best with car maintenance
• I'm no good with money (but I'm trying!)
• I turn my feelings off when I'm hurt
• I am impulsive
• I can be hateful
• I hold grudges
• I am vengeful
• I don't listen as carefully as I should

Let's see. . . . that's 19 good things and 13 things that I dislike about myself. Maybe I"m pretty balanced but after looking at this list, I know there are some things that I can sit and sulk about or things that I can try to work on to be a better person. I think I'm taking choice number 2. I'm tired of being unhappy. I am ready to make myself happy again. I hope that Hubby can see this list too and know how freeing it is to know what your faults and strengths are that you can work on.
