I mentioned in another thread that I have a lot of lists and one of them is "Reasons I Rock" I have it tucked into my make-up bag and when I am feeling down on myself I read it - OUT LOUD.

I think everyone should have this list and I invite you to make one up and share it.

Here's an excerpt from mine:

I rock because I'm intelligent, funny, caring, open minded, strong - emotionally and physically, sexy, giving and flexible- emotionally and physically.
I'm a great mom - patient, loving, reliable and I can put together any lego set on the planet.
I make awesome lasangna and chocolate chip cookies
I make a chocolate pecan pie that will change your life.
I can break a board with my palm and my foot (I'm a blue belt)
I have a good singing voice
I can laugh at myself.
I don't hold a grudge.
I'm a great friend.
I'm not afraid to ask for help when I need it.

What's on your list?

Reasons I rock:



  • I *can* do what I need to do to make it through each and every day by myself (don't always want to, but I can).

  • I can do a better job at auto maintenance than my EX (LOL!--see my tales of an EX posts)

  • I sleep better at night

  • I feel better during the day

  • I can stay up however late I want to (and no one whines about it)

  • I can have lunch with girlfriends whenever I want

  • I can pee in privacy :-)

  • I can hear my own thoughts... and react to them

Here's what I've come up with for my list so far:

I rock because I can make pancakes light and fluffy and from scratch - no mixes for me!
I'm a very loyal friend.
I'm a great cat mommy.
I can crochet pretty well, something I couldn't do at all at this time last year.
I have learned how to ask for help when I need it, without feeling ashamed or weak.
I have an awesome sense of style that's all my own.
I'm not nearly as shy as I used to be.
I have fabulous shoes and hats.
I attract loyal, loving friends.
I rescue worms from parking lots after rainstorms.
I look hot in short shorts!
I am compassionate, loving, generous, sexy, intelligent, wise, funny, well-read, and strong.
I can walk in three-inch heels without killing myself.
I rock because I take my vitamins nearly every day.
I can make my own hummus, guacamole, miso soup, sweet potato fries, and enchiladas (and more!).
I can cook for two or twenty, given large enough pots and pans.
I have a great smile.
I'm not afraid to sing loudly along with the radio, even if there are other people around.

What a great idea! I need to see a "reasons I rock" list for myself right now...I'm just not in a mood to put one together...next good day - hour? I have I think I might put one together for myself! I've been relying on my friends so much over the past year - they've been encouraging, loving, supportive...sometimes I feel like I'm ok - and still others I feel so not ok. My husband told me he didn't want to be married anymore last August - he only came home to see our 3 year old son. I should mention I was 5 weeks away from having our daughter at the time. He moved out in April - I feel stuck and he has a whole new life of freedom. I don't know how to get unstuck.
