For my 2nd positive this week. I like my hands, I have lovely, long and now slim again fingers, on which I get a few compliments. I'm also thankful for not looking my age, a curse when you are 18 , but oh so lovely at 55...;)

My pay it forward was pretty simple- allowing an older couple with just a few items to go before me at the grocery store and then giving my cart to another older woman in the parking lot. That store charges a quarter to rent the cart- so I think it's appreciated to not have to find one!

A second positive attribute would be my cheekbones and jaw line. I've always been complimented on them.

2nd physical attribute is my nails. They are strong and grow easily (raw milk is great for hair and nails!) All of my nails have broken and chipped these past few weeks working on building a fence all around my property. But I know they will grow back fast and be strong and long soon enough. I will get compliments on them again in no time!

I love reading the pay-it0forwards and the self-approvals. So proud of y'all!

My second physical attribute that I love is my feet! I love, love, love my feet. I think they are pretty :blushing: This summer I took a huge leap and got my husbands name tattooed on my right foot. I know some of you are all :noway: We've been married for almost 13 years and he and my son share a name so there's that :laugh:

For my pay it forward, we did a spaghetti dinner at our church Wed. night. I cooked the majority of the meal and then when backup arrived I was able to direct the serving of the meal. No, it wasn't a traditional thanksgiving meal but isn't the whole point really fellowship? Those that came really enjoyed it and I enjoyed giving my time and efforts.

My pay it forward: I have been trying to turn out cupboards (part of my personal daily challenge!) and have ended up with boxes of stuff here that I need to give away. Yesterday I took all my son's clothes and distributed them to various "garibouts" (street kids who beg outside our front door each day ) I never give them money (knowing it goes straight back to the religious leader they live with) but often they get food we have left over. However, I realised that many of them are in DESPERATE need of clothes, so the box I had turned out of my son's old things was perfect! They were so grateful, and I felt quite bad, almost guilty, about the fact that it was stuff I had too much of and just needed to give away. A very humbling experience. How to work out who to give the rest of our "stuff" to! Never a shortage of need here :brokenheart:

I was having a hard time with a second physical attribute, and this morning my husband told me that he has been noticing definition in my triceps lately when I'm just doing regular things around the house! This was nice to hear because I always hate my upper arms; they always seem too big even when I lose weight...also nice to hear that he's still checking me out after 25 years!

As far as a kind deed this week, I'll have to go with waiting on my oldest son while he was sick and then hosting and cooking for my dad and stepmom (Tuesday-Saturday.) I just haven't been out-and-about to interact with others...
I'm with Kelly as far as these kinds of requirements seeming put-on if someone else *tells* me to do it...but it does make me realize that I should be more aware of complimenting and thinking of others on a day-to-day basis - even if it *is* just my family. They don't see a lot of outside folks either, so they really need these things from me!

2nd attribute: I like my smile

2nd attribute - My ankles are becoming more shapely

Don't remember if I posted the 2nd positive or not so going to do it now.

oh so I really am having a hard time right now thinking of another one. I guess my arms since they are stronger and are used for supporting things I do and for carrying around my youngest and to cuddle my kids when they want it and to hold my husband when things are rough.
