This week’s Ponytail Challenge is called “Awesome Me” and goes like this:
In three places, (IE: a note in your pocket, your blog & comments here), you must list 5 things good about yourself.
Now, be serious! 5 real things- sincerely wonderful things about yourself.If you notice yourself comparing; stop. Take a deep breath and review your 5 things.
Also, find one sincere reason to like the person you are comparing yourself to.Read your 5 things out loud sometime during the day, every day until the end of the week.
This is harder than I thought it would be. Especially publically declaring my awesome traits, because what if other people think I’m really not all that awesome at what I think I’m awesome at? I can just hear some of you saying “What other people think doesn’t matter.” Well, that doesn’t make it any easier. So there.
Anyway, here’s my list, written as fast as I can:
1. I really, deeply love my family and they know it
2. I’m proactively working on improving myself
3. I can organize and improvise
4. I’m usually good at not taking myself too seriously
5. I have shiny, thick, healthy hair
Okay, that took me about 7 minutes. Not too bad. It’s a good exercise. Give it a try. “I do not like green eggs and ham” won’t work with me. 
Also props on not spelling “improvise” like “organize”. Sometimes people forget that the former isn’t spelled with a Z.
Spell check. It’s a beautiful thing, right Beth?
I actually spelled this one without spell check.
But it is a beautiful thing and I use it all the time.
