For those of you who know me you know I really dis-like my birthday. I love New Years, I love the start of a new month … I even LOVE Mondays … I don’t however love my birthday. If given the choice … I’d hibernate the week before and after in an effort to stay as far away from “that day” as I can.
I’ve never really understood why I don’t like bdays esp b/c I LOVE celebrating other people but for me they’re awkward. I’m typically a “glass half full” kinda girl … feel pretty confident on MOST days but “this ONE day” wreaks havoc and really challenges my mind, the core of who I am and “those obnoxious voices”. For me … “this day” is typically a reminder of all that I’m not or of all that I haven’t accomplished yet. I’m simple … My dreams list is absolutely attainable and I’m a blessed girl. I’ve traveled all over the world, have the MOST AMAZING family and friends to boot. But “this day” creates a lot of fear and causes me to press in harder and with more intention then “other” days.
With that being said and as I approach “the big day” I’ve started focusing on a short list of things I’ve discovered about myself … things I like … fun, unique things that keep me thinking about all that I am rather than all that I’m not. My heart would be SO SO SO full if you too would share something you LOVE about yourself. It doesn’t have to be a blog or a paragraph or a private message (though it could be that too) … instead it could be ONE thing or a couple things that you genuinely LOVE about YOU. Not about your husband or wife or kids or The Giants or Jesus (though all are really awesome and important things) but really truly something about you.
So in an effort to jump start the initiative I’m sharing my short list of things I love about lil Jen Moody:
I Love that I think really small things are super funny.
I love that I’m most people’s best audience and laughing is honestly part of my daily routine.
I also LOVE that I can go absolutely anywhere by myself and be 100% comfortable.
Church, a movie, Japan … you name it. I’ll go. And I’ll go alone. BOOM!
I Love that when people talk I’m honestly listening. I have a memory like a cat but l think that memory is largely due to the fact … I’m a LISTENER. I love people, I love stories, I love to learn. I’m sponge for info … which can be good and bad BUT regardless … I really LOVE listening.
I LOVE people magazine, Dr. Mercola, essential oils (my newest love) and jalapeno peppers. Like love love. I also LOVE yoga and kombucha tea. I love Pert Plus (the one you’re all thinking), a clean face, keeping my feet outside of the covers at night, a good cry and singing in the bathroom at work (best acoustics EVER).
I could keep going … it’s like a snowball effect … once you start you can’t stop but will stop there. Ding. Now it’s your turn. I’m passing the baton and really, truly would get a kick out of knowing what you LOVE about yourself. Or if nothing else … just think about it. WHAT DO YOU LOVE!!! (WDYL) Until then … know that I LOVE you. Each and every single person on here is someone I LOVE and am grateful for. So THANK YOU for sharing and for being such an important piece in my life!!! XoXo
