A fellow homeschooling mother from the Well Trained Minds boards shared this on her blog and I decided that the exercise was definitely worth the challenge. It's great to have such smrt womn around to keep things in focus. Thanks Smrt Mama!
Make a list of five amazing, beautiful physical qualities about yourself.

Make a list of five amazing things about your mind.
1. I love learning
2. I share what I know with others
3. I love to read
4. I love trying new things
5. I am constantly thinking/planning/preparing/plotting/scheming/making lists
Make a list of five amazing things you have accomplished.
1. I have a successful business and a team that produces over $250,000 in retail sales yearly.
2. I gave birth to four amazing children. (This could actually take up numbers 1-4 but that seemed a bit cheatish.)
3. I can make my own pasta, whipped cream, cheesecake, pizza and a large variety of other tasty dishes. I love being a great cook.
4. I have a M.A. in counseling which has been a definite benefit in my life.
5. I have been married for 21 years.
That all being said, I want so spend a moment acknowledging how thankful I am to God for the gifts I've been given and for the opportunity to use my talents in ways that benefit those around me.
I'd love to read your lists! Please add them here or share a link so I can read them on your blog.

Wonderful lists! Maybe if more people start thinking of loving themselves as one more way of loving and thanking God, people's attitudes about themselves could start to change. If God made us, how could we be anything but amazing, right?
