I loved this post, Carol! So positive and uplifting!
If I could think of 100 things, I'd do the same, but I am not up to such deep thought today!! :D
This is the best 100 things lists I have ever read..
I could make a list, but most of them would be lies. I like to think that I am better than I really am.
Cuz,
I know that many people think more highly of themselves than they ought but I also know that some really decent people think they are worse than they actually are!
It may be because of perfectionism or a low self esteem. That isn't thinking soberly of oneself either!
8. :)
9. Why, specifically?
10. Do you do any other writing outside of journaling and poetry?
11. Would this have anything to do with having kids?
35. Always good.
40. Also good. Weird is fun, and much more interesting. Well, to an extent.
53. What department, specifically? All I know is that you feed Petey on occasion, and while I'm sure that's good for his health, I don't think it's actually in your job description. Also, I am tempted to ask for your opinion on the Health Care system in Canada.
64. Too many people forget civility.
80. I'm not afraid to be wrong, either, but I'm the only one who's allowed to point it out.
89. What media do you work with?
95. I am learning this trust and commitment. What an incredible thing to allow in your life.
102. Really? Where?
103. Tell us more!
Hi Moira,
I think I will address your questions in future blogs.(sometimes I need a prompt) Thanks for asking!
I like this innovative take on 100 things. It's got a positive focus and is self-affirming. I may have to rewrite mine to do the equivalent.
Thanks for signing my guestbook with such ecouragement.
I'll be back to read more of your writings on my blog rounds.
It will be great to have you visit. Likewise, y'know.
I love your 100 things and say kudos to you for putting out nothing but positive thoughts to us all. You're a great example to follow. My best,
Queen JJ
Hi Carol.
I found your blog by exploring a blog my friend, who has The Pink Shoe blog, referred to just recently. You were among the list of blogs that person enjoyed...
I liked the title and came here. Then I really liked this entry, so I used it as a prompt for my own blog: Hope you will all visit and maybe comment, too....

My,
I have to check here more often for comments.
Thanks Queen JJ for your encouraging words.
Tabitha Dial
