Listy-List-List
I stole this idea from Rachelle , because I am witless and weak today, and frankly, I was curious if I could even come up with 100 things I feel positive about. At heart I am Crabby McSnittyPants.
Here's the task:
Make a list of 100 things you like in no particular order. Avoid the obvious (puppy breath, tornadoes, etc.) -- be completely honest with yourself. If you try to think of things that you are curious about and inspired by, you'll end up discovering a lot about yourself and in doing so developing a sort of bank of your interests and ideas.
