Jim's 'I like about myself' cafe

[Innocent Forever]

G'morning. I'm hopefully going back to sleep still. Todays cafe is about something you like about yourself. It's so easy to notice what we dislike and hard to focus and see anything we like.
What do you like about yourself?

Have some cake and lemonade! And bring along goodies and tables.

I like the compassion I have for others.

I like something about myself that I can’t put into words. Best approximation would be that I have recovered my original (childlike) sense of wonder and joy. I had lost contact with this, but going through my depression and learning how to cope has allowed me to find it underneath the facade of fitting into the world.

This really touched me.

i wish they had a LOVE button! This is Totally Awesome! There's many things i wish i could re-find (for lack of a better word) within myself. You bring me hope that it can still be done! Thank You!

 

[1Lefty]

I like my independence, that I'm good with being a solitary person and I don't need others to define or validate me
I like my giving nature, I like to share
I like my compassion
I like my creativity, sense of humor, spontaneity


peace

So, in essence, class. . . (what I really like about my-self, best!) is that I'm CRAZY.

I like myself for being able to help others. I went through a transformation at age 49 do to a heart attack. Since then I have covered a lot of ground, gained a lot of knowledge and used it to help others. It is very gratifying and special to know the bigger picture of life.

 

[Windhover]

About myself there is a little likeable thing, of loving seeing the good in people, even when and sometimes especially when it can be difficult to like them. I also like that I was born being able to draw, because it's fun.

I agree with @AmberMarie about @LumberJack - that was succint, lovely, and powerful.


Thank you @Innocent Forever

Almost forgot: here's sliced lemon loaf, and some rice crackers with goat cheese.

 

[LonelyHiker]

I like my independence, my resourcefulness, and my adventurous spirit.

I remember, at 25 and just out of grad school, loading a Uhaul with everything I owned and heading to Chicago. No job, no place to live, and I knew one person. Within three days I had an apartment and a full time job, and a week later, a paid part in a professional theater production.

Not sure if I'd make such a risky, gutsy move now (that was 30 years ago), but I feel like I can still "wing it" when I need to! Or want to, even 😁
