So I'm swiping this from a post in a forum I'm in. It's a neat idea....maybe a touch corny, but neat all the same! I figured I'd put it in here and share!! Please feel free to join in, reply with your own answers or swipe altogether like I did!

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Day 01 → Something you hate about yourself.
ReplyDeleteI hate my lack of motivation. I have great plans about things....losing weight, exercising, projects around the house....but I'm really bad at getting started. Once I start I'm fine....but that first step is just impossible sometimes.
Day 02 → Something you love about yourself.
ReplyDeleteI'm in such a ROTTEN mood today that this is difficult. I don't feel like there's much lovable about myself at all, today. But normally I love being optimistic. I also love my sense of sarcasm.
Day 03 → Something you have to forgive yourself for.
ReplyDeleteFor not wanting to be a professional 'career' woman.
Day 04 → Something you have to forgive someone for.
ReplyDeleteA constant process is forgiving my ex-husband for being himself -- he owes me thousands in back child support that I'll never see and slips further behind each month; he only contacts the child once in a blue moon outside of his regular weekends; and if I do anything about any of it even my own family thinks I'm a mean bitch because it'll interfere with visitation and hurt my son. So I let it go....but I have to learn to forgive it so I can REALLY let it go. And every time I think I've made it, I realize I still resent him and want to just hurt him for the sake of hurting him. It's an ongoing process.
Day 05 → Something you hope to do in your life.
ReplyDeleteTravel. I hope that someday my husband and I will be able to do some travelling. Nothing elaborate...I'd be happy to tour the 50 States!
Day 06 → Something you hope you never have to do.
ReplyDeleteMake the decision to "pull the plug" on life support for anybody I love.
Day 07 → Someone who has made your life worth living for.
ReplyDeleteMy husband.
Day 08 → Someone who made your life hell, or treated you like shit.
ReplyDeleteB.M. He lied to me, cheated on me, made me believe he loved me. The best day of my life was the day I finally realized I was over him completely and could see him for what he really was. But I learned a LOT!
Day 09 → Someone you didn’t want to let go, but just drifted.
ReplyDeleteJerilyn, my roommate from college. She moved to Tennessee and we do still keep in touch...and when we talk it's like we just saw each other yesterday, but we don't talk enough. Which is 50% my own fault, of course. It happens. I still love her and miss her!
Day 10 → Someone you need to let go, or wish you didn’t know.
ReplyDeleteI do not have anybody in my life that really fits this. I don't have any need to keep people around who I don't appreciate or love. If I needed to let them go then I did. One of the benefits of getting older is knowing that real friendship is precious and everything else is unnecessary.
Day 11 → Something people seem to compliment you the most on.
ReplyDeleteMy cooking.
Day 12 → Something you never get compliments on.
ReplyDeleteMy keen fashion sense.
Day 13 → A band or artist that has gotten you through some tough ass days. (write a letter.)
ReplyDeleteThere are one or two songs that have been kind of like theme songs to me during darker times in my life, but no one band or artist. I Drove All Night by Cyndi Lauper, Gotta Be by Des'ree, Breakfast at Tiffany's by Deep Blue Something, and The Middle by Jimmy Eat World are some of the big ones that really stand out in my memory.
Day 14 → A hero that has let you down. (letter)
ReplyDeleteI've never really had a hero...never had a need for one.
Day 15 → Something or someone you couldn’t live without, because you’ve tried living without it.
ReplyDeleteI couldn't live without my son. If something were to happen to him it would be unimaginable. I may continue breathing, but the shell that would be here wouldn't be Me.
Day 15 → Something or someone you couldn’t live without, because you’ve tried living without it.
ReplyDeleteMeh. I don't keep much in my life that I don't want in my life. If you're in my life it's because I want you here.
Day 17 → A book you’ve read that changed your views on something.
ReplyDeleteThe Diary of Anne Frank. When you're sitting there thinking you couldn't survive without cable, internet, smart phones, microwave ovens, a washer and dryer, two cars, or whatever.....stop and think about what they lived without. If you wonder why I'm an optimist....it's because in America we have little right to be much else.
Day 18 → Your views on gay marriage.
ReplyDeleteI know that two people who love each other should be able to commit to each other through marriage. I don't care who they are.
Day 19 → What do you think of religion? Or what do you think of politics?
ReplyDeleteI think religion helps people explain or rationalize the things they fear most. I'm not an atheist, but I don't buy into any mainstream religion.
Politics are just awful. It's always a matter of picking the lesser of two evils.
Day 20 → Your views on drugs and alcohol.
ReplyDeleteI think pot should be legalized. I think that the legal drinking age should be lowered back to 19. I think that the main reason why kids binge and get out of control when they finally escape their parents and the structure of their homes is because they have no experience with these things. If they weren't so repressed that they explode they might not have so many problems. These things weren't an issue 40 years ago....we're creating these problems. So obviously what we're doing is NOT working. Maybe it's time to try a new tactic.
Day 21 → (scenario) Your best friend is in a car accident and you two got into a fight an hour before. What do you do?
ReplyDeleteThis is a srsly childish question. I don't care if my best friend and I haven't spoken in a month and don't intend to any time soon....the second she needs me I'm there, and vice versa. A fight doesn't negate a friendship....not a real one.
Day 22 → Something you wish you hadn’t done in your life.
ReplyDeleteThere are a lot of things I could maybe put here. BUT everything that I did in my live put my feet on the path to today. And I really love the life I have today. I'm happy, and not a lot of people seem able to say that with sincerity. So there isn't anything that I'd go back and change.
Day 23 → Something you wish you had done in your life.
ReplyDeleteWon the lottery? lol
Day 24 → Make a playlist to someone, and explain why you chose all the songs. (Just post the titles and artists and letter)
ReplyDeleteLame. Make your own mixed tape! lol
Day 25 → The reason you believe you’re still alive today.
ReplyDeleteBecause death hasn't caught me yet?
Day 27 → What’s the best thing going for you right now?
ReplyDeleteEverything. My wonderful husband, my fabulous child, my cute little house....
Day 28 → What if you were pregnant or got someone pregnant, what would you do?
ReplyDeleteDo the Happy Snoopy dance!!
Day 29 → Something you hope to change about yourself. And why.
ReplyDeleteI'd like to lose 50lbs. Mostly to improve my health, but also to improve my appearance.
Day 30 → A letter to yourself, tell yourself EVERYTHING you love about yourself.
ReplyDeleteAgain with the lame.
