Most of us are excellent at being self-deprecating, and are not so good at the opposite. Tell us your favorite thing about yourself.

I really wanted to answer this one. I am really hard on myself often. In the last couple of years, I have tried to be less negative. I try to take things in stride and learn from my mistakes. Before I just sat around and beat myself up for being stupid, lazy, blah, blah, all those nasty things we say to ourselves. I got tired of listening to that record. So, I’ve made a conscious effort to turn it off.

I think what I love about myself is my resilience. If I fall, I get back up. If I run into a wall, I try to every way possible to get to the other side. I will try to climb it, slam through it, or walk around it. Some would call this stubborn. I like to call it determined.
