Thank You...

Thank you to everyone who commented and blessed me with words of encouragement. I have reflected on this the last couple of days about how we live in such a negative world. There is so much that kicks us and pushes us down. I know that at times when I become tired, I find myself having negative self talk, which is so distructive. I am trained to help people with this, yet I, too am prone to do it to myself. This activity was so good for me. Sometimes, I just need to take a step back and look at how others see me, rather than how hard I can be on myself. There are a few words on this list that I would have hoped to be considered. Some that I would love to see develop into something more. I am excited to have such a list of encouraging words to remind me when life stinks... that these things truly are a part of me. Thank you for this gift. I have posted it right next to me at work!
And... for the inquiring minds... the deleted comment was someone who misunderstood the directions... and chose to delete their answer.

I think that we can be our own worst enemy at times.
