Self Love Day 2010
Thanks to Hilly for this great idea !
I was dreading Valentine’s day this year, because it’s yet another reminder that my valentine is dead. I was going to just remain silent and wallow in my own chocolate induced haze, but as good friends often do, Hilly had a better idea ! She’s done this a few times and I think it’s great.
Here’s the premise … I will post one nice thing about myself, and then you’re supposed to post something you like about me ! I also want you to post something you love about you ! Feel free to self-love yourself on your own blog (or wherever you choose – heh) and thanks for playing !
As for me ? I love the fact that I seem to be a lot stronger than I ever would have thought. I keep getting up and trying to go forward, even though life sometimes is quite the bitch and tries to get her whorish ways all up in my bidness. Sure, there are some days that I just want to stay in bed all day, but like a bad case of hives, I just keep popping up. On the vanity side, I loves my smile – seems to be a popular thing when I choose to display it.
Your turn – Let’s all go love ourselves long time !!
Coz, I like your loyalty to the SAINTS (I feel the same about my BENGALS) and I admire your courage to post your thoughts on a public blog. I am having to deal not only with the death of my mother but a possible cancer diagnosis for my husband, but I have not shed one tear over either thing. Not sure if that makes me strong or cold-hearted. HAPPY VALENTINE’S DAY sweetie!! ((HUGS)))
I love you because you are SO REAL and are not afraid to say what you are thinking! You are such a strong, beautiful woman!
I don’t love anything about me today…lol!

I love your honesty. You’re not afraid to be whatever it is you’re feeling in the moment. You really are a very strong woman!
I love your sense of humor and your sense of self.
I love my sense of humor and sense of self as well
I love you because you are strong and sincere and after everything you have been through, you can still smile and make me realize how appreciative I am to know you.
I love you because you are YOU–no matter the environment you are always the same-kind, friendly, and always ready to see the cup half full. See you soon
I love that you are honest here about how much you hurt, and how bad life can really be sometimes!
Hey Kim,
Here’s the deal about you. We are having a mini-Mann family reunion with my mom who will turn 87 on Tuesday. My sister, Caroline, who reads you, and I were telling our family about you. Your two significant losses: your beloved Gregory, and your wonderful father, do not define you. You aren’t playing “the victim card.” You are an independent woman, sharing your experiences, moving on, yet…the love of those two men FOR you seem to give you courage. We think you’re awesome, real, and inspirational. I am so proud to “know” you! Keep on keepin’ on.

Kim, I’ve always loved your zest for life. From the first time I met you at the Marty Party, you’ve made me laugh.
(((HUGS)))
I think your amazing because you are allowing yourself to grow through grief and life experiences. Sometimes it’s hard to see that in yourself but us, as readers, see it leaps and bounds!
Love your spirit.
“Irrepressible spirit transcends all, if you let it.”
The love for your husband and your father is so evident in your writing and so very beautiful, too.
Keep writing, keep feeling, we’ll keep reading…you’re not alone.
I really like your interesting taste of music. Was listening to some of it last week.
I love that you’re you. That I can read this, in the middle of the night, and you help me find my words. For the pain and the lost and ugly yucky things that I have no words for and it is so so comforting.
You’re honest, sometimes, gut wrenchingly painfully and brutally honest…but you’re real. you’re sincere. you’re not afraid to say it hurts, and it sucks, and you can kiss it.
You’re strong, and you remind me to be strong. Completely separate and unrelated situations but I look at you and I think, what an inspiration. You remind me that there are good cops.
and you have some damn good taste in art.
