Day 438 ~ #30... of My 30 Days of Truth...

My 30 Days of Truth challenge   I will admit that I changed one question and changed a few curse words... other than that the challenge is intact. 

Day 30: A letter to yourself... tell yourself everything you love about yourself...

Dear Self...
Wow! Where to start?...  
We've been through so much...  we've seen so much... sharing so much along the way.  
I am so proud of you for hanging in there time after time, and for never looking the other way.  
I am so proud of your inner strength, as I am proud of your weaknesses.  I am proud of your constant desire to help others as well.  
I am proud of how you've faced adversary, worked your way around obstacles and how you've fought through all the tribulations in your life... I am even proud of how you have picked yourself up after every negative situation that was thrown at you... and never being afraid of admitting your faults.  
Most importantly I am so proud for your sincere desire to better yourself each day... your desire to be the person your children and husband would always be proud of... as well as your desire to always do the right thing.  
Keep up the great work... never taking your eyes off the prize.  {and} whatever you do... don't ever forget about the big picture.  
With much love...  
Your self.         

With God's grace.
Whoever gets sense loves his own soul; he who keeps understanding will discover good.  ~Proverbs 19-8
Where I've been and where I'm going next...

Day 02 : Something you love about yourself.
Day 03 : Something you have to forgive yourself for.
Day 04 : Something you have to forgive someone for.
Day 05 : Something you hope to do in your life.

Day 09 : Someone you didn't want to let go, but just drifted.
Day 10 : Someone you need to let go, or wish you didn’t know.
Day 11 : Something people seem to compliment you the most on.
Day 12 : Something you never get compliments on.
Day 13 : A band or artist that has gotten you through some tough days. (write a letter.)
Day 14 : Write a letter to a hero that has let you down.
Day 15 : Something or someone you couldn’t live without, because you've tried living without it.
Day 16 : Someone or something you definitely could live without.
Day 17 : A book you’ve read that changed your views on something.

Day 19 : What do you think of religion?  Or what do you think of politics?
Day 20 : Your views on drugs and alcohol.

Day 22 : Something you wish you hadn’t done in your life.
Day 23 : Something you wish you had done in your life. 
Day 24 : Make a playlist for someone, and explain why you chose all the songs. (Just post the titles and artists and letter)
Day 25 : The reason you believe you’re still alive today.
Day 26 : Have you ever thought about giving up on life? If so, when and why?
Day 27 : What’s the best thing going for you right now?
Day 28 : Name a decision you made that caused a chain of events that would not have happened if it wasn't for that decision.
Day 29 : Something you hope to change about yourself. And why.

I think this particular exercise would be a very difficult one to do...

You made it look easy. Love it, love it, love it!

Carla I love this post. I am going to have to use this idea for day 30. I wrote a poem once with the sentence "a woman just needs to take time to look in the mirror and love who she sees" (something like that), but I think a good idea is also a love letter to yourself. Thank you for the inspiration. I am proud of myself for so many things but I fail to recognize myself - you know what I mean?

Wow! In today's world it's amazing how quickly people can point out their own faults and how hard it is to appreciate themselves. I admire your posting this letter to self
