I love my tenacity. I bounce back fast.

I suppose we're brought up not to boast, show off, etc etc. I reckon we should be brought up to see the positives within ourselves rather than the negatives, so go on...post a few things about yourself that you're really happy with!

I'll have a go to get the ball rolling...

I really like my eyes and I love my hair now it's nice and long.

I quite like my wackiness too!:D

I have always been impressed with my intelligence, wit, adaptability, atheletic ability and good looks. Most of all, I am impressed with my humility.

Awesome quality Soberano, even though this is Pinky's thread, I just want to say that it IS very hard for me to admit, but I believe that I have that quality as well. I always know that it will work out, somehow, not sure how, but it will....

I like my legs..

I love to make people laugh, that is one of my favorite things to do...love to make people happy :-6

I suppose as far as looks go I have a nice colour blue eyes ,auburn hair that has no sign of going grey in spite of my age. I am also quite slim and never diet.

I think the best qualities are that i am very caring and when I make a friend and I find that difficult as I am quite reserved,they are my friend for life and I would do anything for them.

This feels a little weird...but I'll do it.

I have unusual eyes that change from soft gray to bright pickle green, especially if I'm upset, and people tend to comment on them a lot.

Aside from the fact I slip into hillbilly grammar sometimes, I have a pretty decent grasp on language and how to use it to my benefit.

I'm a wealth of interesting little tidbits about a ton of different things.

I'm never too proud to apologize or say when I'm wrong.

I'm the most stubborn person I know (next to K. Snyder

)

If there's no fun, I know how to make some.

I have a pretty sharp wit and a twisted sense of humor and I'm willing to look stupid if it makes someone laugh.

I am usually able to put people at ease around me.

I draw wicked cartoons.

I have a defiant streak a county mile wide.

I'm a very good writer.

I'm deeply opinionated.

I'm not a cookie cutter version of everyone else and I don't let others do my thinking for me.

That was easy enough...

Forgot one...that I've saved hundreds of cats' and dogs' lives when at times I couldn't even save myself. That's probably the one thing that makes me the proudest. That I did it when no one else gave a damn.

I'd like to see his work sometime.

I would like to see you add a great fiddler to those skills in twelve months time.

12 months!? Lord! When I get set to take up fiddling, I reckon it's going to take me years to get it right. Which means in that time I will have saved up enough moolah to come to England for the next FG meet and we can play together then!

PS. i am treating my wife, son daughter and her partner (who is a pretty damn good guitarist) to a three day blue grass festival in september.

I just know they will love me for it.

That's very cool! I'm a bit envious. I hope you all will have a great time!

the fact that i have lived my life by my values and not been swayed...

i love kids and i am always open and smile when i pass and or meet people..i have always welcomed conversations with people...and often end up with life stories from strangers..

i have alot of patience..i have learned that to get what i most want out of life often means having patience and the ability to wait for it...even if it takes years....

i look younger than my age...so i amtold all the time

i am a big kid..i love to play

i am very forgiving ...i dont hold grudges....

my friends and family know they can depend on me if they are hurt or in trouble and i am proud that they trust me that much.....

i am my own best friend...

Ok sorry if this is heavy ....

I think I have had alot hit me in my life (not gonna bore you with details ) but it left me with a kind of 'don't judge too quick thing'. My pride is that I can have friends that maybe I would not have if I had been too quick to judge. The lesson I learnt in life are that people do some wierd stuff - that normally you would think I don't like that person - but maybe what they do is not how they come across. I like the way I give everyone a chance (it drive my hubby crazy) - it has been good for me and helped my friends alot too.

I'm an exellent mother.

I'm realistic and confident.

I'm a hard worker (as long as it's work I want to do!)

I'm glad I've led the life I have (it must be good because when I tell people about it they never believe me.) I've learnt a lot from lots of experiences and I regret nothing. (well maybe just a little bit.

I'm loving, soft and have a big heart.

I'm not lazy ! I just need more rest than most.

I don't take crap and attitude from people who have measured me up and come up with an assumed wrong answer.

and that's what I like about myself.

you forgot funny and quick witted...:p

I can relate to that Pheasy....I have been hurt by trusting too easily though, always look for the good in people!
