Challenge – Write A “Thank You” Note to Yourself

I saw a challenge this morning about writing a “Thank You” note to yourself. Such a difficult task this is, to write about oneself! I contemplated this for the last several hours and pondered about what I would or could thank myself for, and a list developed in my mind. I don’t mean to sound self-centered; this is a difficult task for me to write about qualities I value in people that I have also found in myself.

I thank myself for being kind.

I thank myself for walking my faith.

I thank myself for wanting to help others, through education, cooking, sharing ideas, or simply listening (though that last one I’d not proclaim too loudly).

I thank myself for creating enough energy to accomplish my goals, both daily and ongoing.

I thank myself for being able to bring humor to situations.

I thank myself for liking things to be neat.

I thank myself for being creative.

I thank myself for being generous.

I thank myself for recognizing a problem and trying to come up with solutions, no matter how crazy they might seem.

I thank myself for being able to multi-task and get things done.

And most of all, I thank myself for at least showing up for the game and trying.
