Gee, I know that feeling about not being able to think of good things about oneself.

Shirley-- I can think of many good things about you.

One is your writing--- I LOVE the way you write! I feel, when reading your posts that I'm sitting at a table with you sipping tea--I'm right there. You express yourself very well- IMO.

You are a dedicated and loving mother-- that is awesome!

Another good thing that I admire is your courage. You may not see it-- but some people run when faced with changes or accepting that something isn't working and they need to make a change in some way. When faced with a situation of change or not you will jump in and try it--- that takes courage and the want to better ones life-- YOU have that!

Does your profile have to say you do these things presently--- can you word it as things you enjoy--- like--- "I enjoy skiing" and "I've refinished furniture"....... how about movies--- while vegging on the couch-- perhaps you're a movie buff? Instead of saying your not good at making long range plans--- maybe you are a more spontaneous fun type? (some people just aren't long range planning types--nothing wrong with that)

and how about-- you are a homeowner! That is a great quality too-- IMO!!

Well, how's that for starters?

You have many great qualities, I only named a few!
