What is your favorite THING ABOUT YOURSELF and AGE?

Favorite Thing About Yourself...

My favorite thing about myself is my positive attitude 99.9% of the time. This hasn't always been the case. As a teenager, I moped around the house and was grumpy the majority of the time. I am not sure what changed, but as I got older I realized, life is way too short to be in a bad mood all of the time. So with that, my attitude changed and I now am positive most of the time. I get excited very easily. Almost everything amuses me. And yes, I wake up like this. My husband often will ask on a Saturday morning "Why are you so happy?" I just laugh and try to get him to my good mood! I am not always positive. I do have my bad days. In fact, because I am so bubbly and outgoing and smiling all the time; when I do have a bad day, people notice. People ask me am I ok and tell me that I do not look like myself. I think that says a lot for my personality and I hope that my attitude is infectious sometimes.

Along this line - I am my own biggest fan. Which I think everyone (especially women) should be! People are always so down on themselves physically, and even I am guilty of that. But I think every one should have one thing they LOVE about their bodies. And while I am unhappy with the way my body looks now (post wedding weight gain) there are 3 things I absolutely LOVE...1) eyes 2) smile 3) bellybutton. That 3rd one may seem kind of silly but I really like my bellybutton and that goes to show you, no matter how silly - find something you LOVE about yourself! :)

Age...

I used to say if I could go back to any age it would be 22, until I turned 30. I have LOVED being 30. I don't know why people make a big deal about it and act like they are dying because it is great!! I still have most of the same friends I did in my twenties, and we still do the fun things we used to (granted, the parties end a little sooner theses days ;)). Some one made a comment to me about being "too old" to get a mega-ticket (1 ticket for 11 Country Music concerts at a amphitheater in Raleigh), but that is just dumb. If I like it, why not get it?! (Plus I am in a better position financially to buy it now than before!) There are all kinds of lists out there for things that women shouldn't do/wear/say/own in their 30's, I think they are a load of CRAP! Be who you want to be, love yourself. You will have to have thick skin (belly shirts in the carpool lane will make you the talk of the PTA for sure) but I dont like when people put an age on fun.

So back to the original question...30 is my favorite age, so far. :)

I would love to hear what your favorite thing about yourself is, I think its so good to share that stuff with others (and your favorite age too if you want!:))
