redbird | May list: reflections (Reply)

It's been interesting, and good for me. I thought about my good sides, and my friends told me how desirable some of those attributes are. Doing it this way also gave me a mix of things, from items I would have thought of any time (like 1, 3, 4, and 16) and ones that were sparked by particular days' events (2, 19, 22, 24).

1. I take good care of the people I love.
2. I dealt with an insurance company without losing my temper.
3. I have cool tattoos.
4. I am intelligent.
