Cybil gave me a good idea on another thread of mine. Starting a positive thread about what I like about myself, please join in.<P>-I like my morals and strong work ethic<BR>-I like the way I've learned to deal with my kids and have more fun with them<BR>-I admire the way I am able to be a strong person (even though I don't feel like it at times) and give everything I can to try and save my marriage. I will not give in until I know I have done everything I can do.<BR>-I admire the changes I have made to myself.
