Learning to be Me

I've been thinking about an amazing bunch of ladies (not all connected) that I have the privilege of calling friends. I really has been blessed with some incredible woman in my life. These are the kind if women who make me want to be a better person. Who make me feel better just sitting between them. I love this.  It gives me a good place to look when I want to improve.

Occasionally, though, I do what you shouldn't do. I compare myself to these girls. The result is exactly what you might imagine. They are put high on a pedestal while all I can see of myself are my weak points.  My flaws. 

I try to stop it when I realize I'm doing it. Today I decide I ought to make a list of the things I admire about these women. Then I wrote one about what I admire in myself. The second list was very different than the first, but no less important. looking forward to using the first list as a guideline as I continually seek to better myself the second one I think will come in handy, assuring me that I am doing OK myself. :)
