This week I’m relating good things about myself rather than my day. This is day five of this challenge. It’s getting harder to think of good things about myself that I haven’t already related, but here goes.

1. I tend to have a knack for new skills. My first attempts at both pottery and weaving in particular look like I’d been at both for a while. They certainly don’t look like an expert did them, but neither do they look like a first try. This tends to be the case with most new skills I try to pick up.

2. I am patient beyond measure – most of the time. If I’m having a really bad day, my patience wears thin like everyone else’s, but my fuse is generally very, very long.

3. I give really good backrubs. My own back won’t let me pursue it as a career, but I am trained in massage therapy by some of the finest teachers in the country.
