<p>Since the 5 things about you people likely don't know thread has died down I thought I'd start something different and see how it goes.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>Say 4 positive things about yourself.  I know I am particularly hard on myself and not very forgiving of my own foibles either.  I suspect I am not alone in this behavior.  To fuel some positive energy, how about listing 4 things about yourself that are positive?</p>

 

[SpartyGirl]

<p>Ooh, I'll play.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>1-I can still bang out a triple pirouette.</p>
<p>2-My leaps rival the young chicks in my dance classes.</p>
<p>3-I have a natural aptitude for latin based languages.</p>
<p>4-I love with my whole heart.</p>
<p> </p>
<p> </p>

 

[MBannon]

<p>MQ - Didn't your mother ever teach you that when you start a forum thread about yourself, you are supposed to be the first to actually answer the questions?  Sheesh.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>I'm super tolerant of others' faux pas.</p>
<p>I have a well-developed sense of sarcasm.</p>
<p>I am good at counting.</p>

 

[Muffin Queen]

<p>Hysterical MBannon!  I probably <em>should</em> answer though.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>I am:</p>
<p>1.  excellent at folding laundry</p>
<p>2.  loyal</p>
<p>3.  good at baking - mostly cookies</p>
<p>4.  efficient at my job</p>

 

[Thor]

<p>I'll play...</p>
<p> </p>
<p>1) I am a glass half-full-to-overflowing kind of person, always seeing that which is possible and rarely anything else.</p>
<p>2) If someone deserves a pat on the back, I go out of my way to do it -- because I know how awesome it is to have someone recognize hard work and a good job or have a total stranger say something nice to you in a pay it forward kind of way.</p>
<p>3) I am a very hard worker once I am mentally plugged into what I'm doing -- but I don't plug into everything I do.</p>
<p>4) I accept you for who you are and leave judging to others -- I wouldn't want you to judge me, so I don't judge you.</p>

[ksurp]

<p>Hmmm</p>
<p> </p>
<p>1. I don't mind speaking in front of an audience/large group.</p>
<p>2. I can get adolescents hooked into learning history.</p>
<p>3. I be quick and upfront about admitting mistakes.</p>
<p>4. I'm good at planning family travel.</p>

<p>Matt - good at counting?  You are supposed to list 4, not 3.<span><img alt="biggrin.gif" id="user_yui_3_4_1_2_1326427499113_151" src="http://files.kickrunners.com/smilies/biggrin.gif" style="width:16px;height:16px;"></span></p>
<p> </p>
<p>1)  I am very efficient</p>
<p>2)  I am not afraid of making mistakes and being rejected.</p>
<p>3)  I am good at orniganization.  Planning a family trip is my speciality, like ksurp.</p>
<p>4)  I am persistent and don't give up easily once committed. </p>

 

[pcsronbo]

<p>1. I'm very persistant when I have a goal</p>
<p>2. I'm very adaptful - I can work a problem with limited information or "wing it" be it a speech or whatnot</p>
<p>3. I can see the future - I can see forward X steps in a process and whittle them down to a few probabilities</p>
<p>4. I have large bandwidth (can handle many tasks/projects at same time)</p>
<p> </p>
<p>fun thread! Focuses you on the positive. i should add "I am very critical of myself" of myself but that's part of #3 really as you need to know the failure points to see the future  <span><img alt="biggrin.gif" id="user_yui_3_4_1_2_1326457678663_151" src="http://files.kickrunners.com/smilies/biggrin.gif" style="width:16px;height:16px;"></span></p>

 

[slow_n_steady]

<p>1. After years of suffering I am finally taking control of my mental health issues and am moving forward. Part of the reason I got my tattoo that is now my profile pic.</p>
<p>2. When I commit to something, I do so whole-heartedly.</p>
<p>3. I would give the shirt off my back to someone who needs it more than me. (I have literally done this before!)</p>
<p>4. Dogs and children like me.</p>

 

[MBannon]

<p>Okay, for realz this time:</p>
<p> </p>
<p>1. I have outstanding focus on long-term goals (3-6 years).</p>
<p>2. I am a social chameleon, able to fit right in with a group of educated-introverts just as easily as a group of blue-collar-regulars at the local bar.</p>
<p>3. I see no shame in anyone (including me) "downgrading" their life (see "5 Things About You" thread) in pursuit of happiness, financial or otherwise.</p>
<p>4. I write well.  That is amazingly helpful in life.</p>

 

[TriAndStopMe]

<p>1. I have a talent for writing. I especially enjoy delivering humor with heart.</p>
<p>2. I'm fairly whole-brained. I'm able to handle both the creative and the technical aspects of life.</p>
<p>3. I live to be useful. This likely ties into my workaholic tendencies, but also includes being able to whip out a full roll of packing tape to share with complete strangers at the post office. Joy!</p>
<p>4. I make a point to connect with people who are often overlooked and try to brighten their day. It in turn, makes my day when otherwise impassive faces light up upon seeing me. I guess that means I can add selfish to the list if we do a thread on negatives. ;-)</p>
<p> </p>
<p>If there were a five, it'd be that I seem to have a better than average memory.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>slow-n-steady, big congrats on #1. That's moving forward on the right path. And I didn't know that was a tattoo. Cool!</p>

[em73]

<p>1) I'm really good at spatial problems</p>
<p>2) I'm occasionally slightly sarcastic.</p>
<p>3) I make pretty quilts</p>
<p>4) I learn how to use new software very quickly.</p>

Thank you. It is one day at a time.</p>

[LeftRightRepeat]

<p>I've been looking at this one for a while trying to decide what to write...</p>
<p> </p>
<ol><li>My family can count on me. I go out of my way to make every sporting event, school concert, spouse's work party, etc.  If it's important to them, it's important to me.</li>
<li>My word is good. If a tell you I'll do something, you can consider it done.</li>
<li>I get along with just about anyone. Even people I don't like.</li>
<li>I'm still working on #4.</li>
</ol>

 

[TriBob]

<p>1. I am trusting almost to a fault. I have been burned several times because of this. But, I still think it is better assume people are trust worthy to begin with.</p>
<p>2. I volunteer and give back to the community. I was a Director at Special Olympics and now volunteer EMS at the Fire Station.</p>
<p>3. I tutor and mentor. I have been tutoring since high school. If someone wants to learn and I know a little more then they do, I will help them. Computers, math, martial arts, triathlon etc.</p>
<p>4. I am very good in an emergency. From critical emergencies to longer crisis type emergencies.</p>

Um, for #4, how about you're an amazingly supportive friend? Thor's stories attest to that.</p>

<p>Yep. And what's remarkable about Lord John is that he's an amazingly supportive friend to a lot of people. See #1, 2, and 3. He is "good people" taken to the next level.</p>
