JoAnn — that’s a lot to love! The 40lbs part (wow!) as well as the imaginary friends part ;-).

I love the fact that I was able to lose 40 lbs and keep it off…twice. (before and after having a child).

I love my perfectionism, although I temper it with casualness as best I can.

I love my ability to not only figure out the answers but also figure out the questions. (With preschoolers and spouses, you’d be surprised at which is harder to do.)

I love my choice in friends…real or imaginary or both. ;)

I would guess that this process can be as healing and nurturing as making a gratitude list.

I’m doing both now. Thanks for the moment to pause during this busy season and do something so important.

PS – Amber and Lori, I love your writing!

You just named another reason why I don’t go backpacking for a week at a time.

I would add in your inviting smile, too :-)

This is beautiful! So rarely do we focus on what we love about ourselves. It’s much easier to find room for improvement.

I love my health and vitality for life.

I love my hair. Even after a week of backpacking without washing it, it always looks the same. :-)
