The List

[serene]

I'm very unproductive today. ptigris was doing a gratitude list, and I thought I'd take a quick break from doing fuck-all, and do The List instead.

Been making this list for more years than I can count. It often helps my mood.

Five things that are good about me:

1. I am good at telling people in my life that I love them
2. I have a huge capacity for joy
3. I have healthy boundaries that I communicate well
4. I am a good cook
5. I put my money where my mouth is

Five things I'm grateful for:

1. Modern medical science
2. My incredibly loving family
3. My bosses
4. Modern printing technology
5. Art

Five people or animals who love me without reservation:

1. someotherguy
2. stonebender
3. My mother
4. wtfpotatoes
5. My foster sister, Cindy

Five times in recent memory when I was happy/joyful/contented:

1. When someotherguy and I picked up the magazines
2. When I saw dbubley's smiling face in a recent picture (she's getting better!)
3. When the top ten google hits for "sex after iud insertion" said "go for it" ;-)
4. When I was addressing the magazines
5. When I noticed it had started raining

Five things I'm good at:

1. Cutting myself slack when I fall short of my ideals
2. Making dinner from random pantry ingredients
3. Finding the good things in my friends
4. Extricating myself from toxic relationships
5. Talking to kids as people
