TotD #37: My First Compliment To Myself

I still find it hard to compliment myself or even to smile to myself occasionally.  Why is it so darn hard?  I mean, if I think about everything logically in a calm manner, it's not like I've committed a high crime or hurt anybody in my life so I should be so hard on myself.  So, here it is, my first reasonable look at myself as a relatively objective observer.

1. I am a very warm and caring person.  I feel bad when people feel bad or down.  I don't like to let anyone down for anything.  It's simply not in my blood.
2. I love food and I love to cook nice food for people.  I love to see my family enjoy a nice meal and share the love.
3. I am naturally cheerful and childlike.  I enjoy really simple pleasures and never ask for much.  I am easy to please.  A small silly joke sends me off to a laughing fit and for a few days I will be repeating that to myself to crack myself up.  I am fun to be around with.  I am a regular comedian myself trying to make everyone laugh.
4. I love animals and plants.  I care deeply for them and naturally want to things thrive around me.

For these reasons, I like myself as a person.  I hope I can do more of this in the near future and feel better about myself when things are not going so well.  We all can love ourselves a little more in the right way.
