Thursday Thirteen - the one where I take the challenge

Thirteen Things about Lisa
and things I like about myself
We've been challenged this week to come up with 13 things we like about ourselves, to get us all out of that rut so many women get in...focusing on the negative!





1. I'm finally taking the time to do something for myself! I started a tap class this summer at the studio and am continuing it through the year.

2. My sense of humor. Sure a lot of people don't get it or appreciate it, but I do and my closest friends do, too

3. My eyes. It took a long time, but I have really come to love my eyes. They are big, and change color with my mood, from dark brown to green.

4. My metabolism. Ok, this one is kinda shallow, but I have managed to keep weight off thanks to the metabolism I inherited from my Dad. Its a heck of a lot easier than having to work really hard to keep the weight off (lets find some wood to knock now...)

5. My Open Mind. Now, some in my family are racists, close minded indivuals. I am very proud of the fact that I never let that rub off on me. I've got an open mind about a lot of things (not quite everything though...) and I'm hoping to teach that to my kids!

6. My shoulders. Personally I find my neckline and shoulders the sexiest part of my body.

7. My tenacity. There have been many things that I have gone through that many people would have used as an excuse to give up. I haven't and won't. Even if I have to fight tooth and nail to get through it (and there have been many times I have) I will make it.

8. My ability to cook. Heck and the fact that I love to do it!

9. I love Math. Odd thing to like about myself, but its true. Plus I am good at it. I feel that too many girls are being programmed to believe that they can't be good at math.

10. I love science. The same things that apply to #9 apply here too. We need more girls following their passions in both Math and Sciences.

11. My hair. Yes, its amazing hair. Thick and healthy. And when I find a style that I like, I love it!

12. My eyelashes. Another thing I was blessed with being thick and healthy. I probably have enough eyelashes for 3 people.

13. Creativity. I can get awfully creative, though it usually comes in spurts. But its wonderful to be able to express myself in different ways!
