What do you like about yourself...

In the spirits of this blog post -

I like that I have a set of rituals that define who I am.  I read and therefore I am a reader.  I am always on time and therefore I am punctual.  I scrapbook and make photobooks and therefore  I am nostalgic.  I am compulsive about cleaningness and therefore I am tidy.  I put on nice clothes to go out and therefore I am put together.  

These things help me not waste time on feelings of guilt.  For example, when I yell at my kids to clean up in the middle of Saturday morning, I tell myself that's just who I am.  When I put on makeup to put gas in car, that's just who I am.  When I fold laundry in the middle of the night AND put them away, that's just who I am.
