Thirteen Things about LINDSEY
This week Denise has challenged us:
I would like to challenge all Thirteeners to come up with 13 things they like about themselves.
I feel like we, as women, spend so much time scrutinizing ourselves that we sometimes forget the good stuff.
1. I have a GREAT relationship with my family. My parents and I get along extremely well, and my brother and I almost never fight. And it’s been this way my entire life. I love my family very dearly, and I feel so blessed to have them in my life!
2. I feel as though I have a good perspective for what’s important in life. I don’t get caught up on money or popularity, or any of those things that can consume your life. Having had a mother with breast cancer and a father with prostate cancer and autoimmune hepatitis, I have faced the scary thought that my parents could have died, my mother before my high school graduation, and my father before my college graduation - twice. The important things in life are about being with people you love and respecting them and yourself!
3. I have an intense passion for life. When I find something that I enjoy, I take it and run with it. While sometimes this can make me become a little obsessed with projects, I’d prefer that to being apathetic any day!
4. I have a very loving nature. I love to give and receive hugs, small children delight me, and don’t get me started on pets, LOL! I’m a loving friend, and I’m always there when someone needs to talk.
5. In that same vein, I am a giver. I love to help my friends, I’m always there to cook a meal or run an errand. My friends tell me that my love language is Acts of Service, and they’re probably right.
6. I have an understanding for the importance of art. A lot of people get so bogged down in the day-to-day that they don’t take the time to stop and realize that life is beautiful, and it enhances our lives. Without art (in any form!) we lose perspective, and the monotony would cause us to go crazy!
7. I love theatre. I don’t know why I like this about myself, but I feel like theatre is just such a great way to communicate with people and convey different emotions and perspectives. You can express any idea through theatre, and it’s a great learning tool.
8. I want to be a mom. I feel like children are such a blessing, and my entire life I’ve had the desire to be a mother and wife. I’m glad I have that desire. I’m not so sure I’m cut out for a life without a family, LOL!
9. I love Christmas, and all that goes with it. So many people have become disillusioned with Christmas, both the religious and cultural elements, but it really can be a wonderful and joyful time of the year, a time to remember what came before and what we have now. And I’m glad I can see that!
10. I like my sense of drive. When I get a task or a goal that I am dedicated to, I will see it through to the end. I will commit to it and ensure that all bases are covered.
11. I’m very organized. Close friends who have seen my room will probably disagree, but I am. Everything has an organized system to it, and if you ask me where someone is, I will tell you in a heartbeat! My computer is also super organized, and it makes me way more productive.
12. I love my job. Working for MagicMouth is just so incredibly fulfilling and exciting, and while it’s scary to start something from scratch and be unsure of how you will do financially, I’m happy that I can be forward-thinking enough to be thrilled instead of terrified.
13. I love blogging, and that’s silly to be something that you love about yourself, but its true. I’ve always loved writing, but once I got into high school, I quit writing for pleasure because I had so much writing for school, and I never picked it back up. But now that I’m blogging, I’m slowly regaining my desire to write, and I hope to rewrite my novel sometime in the new future!
