It’s Self-Love Day!
No, not like that. Get your minds outta the gutter! Sheesh, you people.
No, today is the day we celebrate Hilly’s now four-year-old creation and remember to love ourselves. You really can’t love someone else fully if you don’t love yourself. Since today is the commercially mandated day to celebrate love, shouldn’t we take the time out to remember what we love about ourselves?
Here’s how it works:
1.) You’re gonna grab yourself a banner. You can find both versions here.
2.) You’re gonna post that banner and then tell us all something that you really like love about yourself (thus, the “self-love” portion of our program).
3.) Ask or beg your readers to post one thing that they too love about you!!! If your blog friends are nice, you shouldn’t have to beg…much.
4.) Enjoy yourself and spread the love by doing this on your blog! If you want to, drop Hilly and me a line or a trackback so that I know you participated too!
**I would post a banner if I could, but one of the things I love about myself is my tendency to jump into things I’m not so comfortable with and try to figure out how they work by myself. Sometimes that works out just great. I’ve made some great cakes experimenting with things that aren’t generally accepted cake building materials like copper pipe and Kydex. Sometimes it’s a little less successful. In messing around in my databases last night I broke my ability to upload photos, hence no banners for me until further notice. Either way, though, whether my adventures are successful or not, I always learn something. I love learning new things.
I think that’s why I have so many hobbies, it’s the love of learning that keeps me seeking out new horizons. It keeps my mind busy and vibrant, and I am firmly convinced that when you stop learning you stagnate and eventually die. Maybe not physically, but spiritually. It’s very important to me.
So! It’s your turn! In the comments I want you to write something you love (or like) about me and I will reply with something that I love about you. Keep the love in your hearts today, but don’t forget to love yourself first.
**updated to add that my uploading capability is fixed thanks to someone who is much smarter about these things than I am! Thanks so much to my talented friend.
I love that we became friends on the interwebz and that you are hilariously funny !

@Kim, I love that you are getting out and doing all of the things you want to do, like going to the football games and planning your trips. Despite your horribly bad year, you’re getting out and living life.
ETA: opps! forgot I was logged in as admin!

I love your sense of humor and your sense of adventure. Jump girl, jump!
Plus, I love that we look like sisters. Or so say Miss Britt. I’ll take it!

@Finn, I love that we look like sisters too, and am highly flattered that people think so.
I love your caring nature. It’s obvious that you care deeply about your friends.

I love that you work with your hands…baking, that is. Especially because I can’t boil water, I so envy your baking skills.

I love that you have the courage to stand by your convictions, even when it’s really, really hard. Not everyone has that kind of courage!
And I also love that you’ve introduced me to lovely libations such as X-Rated & Slippery Nipples.

@Jessica, (sorry for the severely delayed reply, your comment got stuck in some kind of weird limbo where it wasn’t in my dashboard)
I love your commitment and dedication to your family. Every kid should have a mom who is as involved and cares as much as you.
I also love that you dig on the researching. Whether it’s travel or something else new, you find out all you can about it and make it yours. That’s pretty cool!
