What I Like About Me

So I asked one of my best friends about this last Friday while we were out.  I cried obviously.  I told her I needed help with this list.  I think that takes away from the process, but I will be honest.  I'm stuck.  It's so hard somedays.  

So I'm going to try.  This is a work in progress and I will add to it as I go this weekend. I see my therapist on Wednesday and I'd like to have this done as well as the angry letter to Daniela Sosa.

  1. Generous (Her thoughts).  Not sure how I feel about this because it makes me think I'm buying people which I hate.  Might need to reflect on that
  2. Loyal. (Her thoughts).   I am loyal to those that have been loyal to me
  3. Empathetic - I never used to be empathetic but I think going through therapy has allowed me to become the person I really am.  I used to see this as a sign of weakness, but I do try and understand where people are coming from and feel for them.  
  4. Soft - Not sure how to put this into words, but I know I'm a very soft and sensitive person now.  I feel everything.  It's not a bad thing, it just takes some learning and practice
  5. Vulnerable - I am vulnerable and will open up to people if I feel safe.  It seems to me that people can see this and they feel the same way.  I have had some amazing conversations with new people in my life.  Also, for some reason people have always felt comfortable in telling me things.
  6. Smart - I am smart.  I have taken it for granted at times, and used it to skate by, but I was really lucky to be born with some brains.

Strange Day

Most of you are still probably a sleep as I write and post this.  Today is Remembrance Day in Canada.  Some of us probably hardly think about it.  I've honoured and or celebrated this day in my own way since University.  It was always a holiday so you have the freedom to do what you want.  Now I could get all philosophical about the use of the word freedom and how it relates to this day but I won't. Not today anyways. Post university I have had to work on this day even in Canada.  It may have been a holiday but I had work to do.  For some reason the weather on this day was always grey and gloomy.  Some years when I could, I would golf.  The weather wasn't great for golf but it was nice to be alone with your thoughts on this day.  I think the grayness and the wetness that would be part of it made it more enjoyable. So what's the point of this post?  Today is a truly Canadian holiday.  It is ours.  It was created by us for us.  It doesn't set out to honour the Mon

It's Been a Long Time Since I Left You

I bet a lot of people live their entire life's without having as many stories to tell as it would appear that I'm going to have. I've taken a long break from writing.  I took a break for numerous reasons. Let's start with a list. This blog became too public and I have private thoughts that I didn't need shared. I don't like to air my grievances in public.  If I'm having issues with somebody I tell it to them.  If I'm having a problem in a relationship, I don't feel the need to share it with everybody. Life was going through changes and it wasn't required to be shared all around. I think there are a lot of the same themes in there, but hey it's my list I can do what I want. So why am I back?  Not sure.  I took a spin through this old blog a few weeks ago and thought about giving it a go again.  I'm secretly hoping nobody is reading this as it's for me.  If they are, I'm sure they will let me know, or not, up to th
