Today is "I am AWESOME Day."

[SandraC]

Hi all! On another board, a person reminded me of something I did a couple years ago that I almost forgot about ~ or at least have not thought about in a very long time.

I completed two short triathlons in 2000 and 2001. I haven't thought about that in a couple of years. As I think about it now, I am very proud of myself. I have been a little down in the dumps lately and this little self-pat-on-my-back lifted me up a bit.

Because this made me feel good, I wanted to share the exercise of a big self-pat-on-the-back feeling with you all!

Think about yourself...now write something truly awesome about yourself. If you are shy, write as if you are writing about someone else.

I don't think we give ourselves the CONGRATS that we deserve. BE GOOD TO YOURSELF TODAY!

Share your AWESOMENESS with us! I look forward to reading how amazing you all are! S

I am awesome because.............I am not afraid to stretch my limits and broaden my horizons!! Thanks Sandra! I'm going to go work out RIGHT NOW! This is a fabulous weather day and I intend to make the best of it. Thanks for YOUR inspiration!!!

because the only way we could afford to go to WDW this year was for me to save money....and I have done it!!! In the past DH always "came up" with it...but the market is bad ...so he said if I want to go away I need to save...

Oh and BTW...I don't have a job...I did it through using coupons... making lunches instead of letting kids buy lunch and cooking dinner instead of eating out (which was the hardest thing), and sneaking $$$ out of the grocery money every week...(hehe)

Thanks for letting me say that...I haven't told anyone yet!!!

I am awesome because:

Even though I have the flu or something darned close to it and my head is about to explode, I did not slam the phone down when the telemarketer called. I set it aside while he finished his pitch, then gently hung it back up when it began to beep.
I listened to my sister for over half an hour on the phone talk about having her dog shaved, how awful her boss is, and how good those cheese sticks were going to be when they got done. She was kind enough not to make me speak very much, and I didn't try.
I let the pill bug mosey on by without stepping on it, because he probably has a little pill bug family waiting for him somewhere.


Who's next?

I stared down my fear of rejection and tried out for American Idol(and almost made it,maybe next time)

I am awesome because....

I am not ashamed to continue to love childhood favorites like dolls, Disney, and cartoons. I refuse to conform to what people think I should like or dislike.

...because I am a loving father & husband & son, an adopter of retired racing greyhounds, a dedicated lawman, and a veteran of 8 years of service to my country in the Marine Corps Infantry.

I am awesome because.....

I passed my Six Sigma test at work today!!! I never thought I'd be able to pass it on my first try and I did-with flying colors!

Also, I've continued to use my treadmill almost daily since October so I'm not afraid to put my shorts on this spring!

Thanks for letting me share.

I think this is a great thread...I am giving it a BUMP!!!

 

[Jeff in BigD]

I'm awesome because I'm such a drag. I could try being a bigger waste of flesh, but I don't know if I have it in me.

 

[SandraC]

WOW! These boards are full of awesome people! I hope you all wake up everyday and say, I am awesome because.....
