I’ll go first.

I love that I stick at things or if I fall off, I jump back on.

I love my nails, long and strong.

Tell me some things you love about yourself. No negative self-talk allowed! 😜. We will be with ourselves until our dying day, let's show ourselves some love on this lighthearted thread.

The love handles I've been growing the last three months. It's taken dedication.

SilverBranchGoldenPears · 12/07/2024 12:17

My feet. They are wrinkly and funny but they’ve carried me far. Sadly nobody I know likes giving foot rubs.

Brandnewskytohangyourstarsupon · 12/07/2024 12:26

Absolutely fuck all knocks me around for long.
Im as resilient as stone bastard henge.

Also a talented swearer.

NecessaryNC24 · 12/07/2024 12:30

Hâve to say resilience too. I didn't always have it but fuck me it's developed like a superpower 🙌🏻

Are you me? 🤣 I love that even though people were a bit worried about me I proved I could be a great mom😊

BiodegradableNaturalAroma · 12/07/2024 12:35

Thick, long silky hair. Not a single grey and I'm almost 40.

Sugarsnapper · 12/07/2024 12:37

I’m a really good gardener. I can cook well and keep a nice home. I’m on top of my shit and have l worked hard to keep my weight under control.

WinkyTinky · 12/07/2024 12:51

I like unusual things that others think are boring, but I'm very proud of being weird and boring 💪
Also I have great smooth feet for 47, and a pretty good body.

MummaMummaJumma · 12/07/2024 12:52

These are lovely to hear!

@Brandnewskytohangyourstarsupon you are also vvvvv funny.x

HansHolbein · 12/07/2024 12:53

I’ve been through a lot so I’m incredibly strong.

I’m funny.

I have a lot of empathy.

I love that my children feel comfortable enough to tell me anything.

Meadowfinch · 12/07/2024 13:01

My body is pretty reliable, mechanically. I'm 61 and can still run 10k comfortably. Can still do anything physical I set my mind to, swimming, cycling etc.

PortiasBiscuit · 12/07/2024 13:03

My hard earned confidence, my 6ft height. The fact that for the first time in my life I am now better looking than most women my age.

Moier · 12/07/2024 13:07

I'm a good listener.
I feel blessed my family can come to me for anything.
I'm a great baker/ cook/ great at sewing.
Physically my best feature is my smooth skin for a 66 year old.

countvoncount · 12/07/2024 13:31

Wow, I love reading these!!
I'm a nice boss, have thick shiny hair, long eyelashes, am as strong as an ox, and I get shit done!
Also have many funny stories about myself that have people creased, my adventures are amusing it seems.
Cracking threadSmile

WirelessWendy · 12/07/2024 14:00

I can make people laugh. I’m good at my job. I can do mass catering at the drop of a hat. My children seem to have done ok.

Moonshiners · 12/07/2024 14:07

I have never really given a fuck about what I look like. I am told I am averagely attractive but it doesn't interest me. This has made aging very easy.
I have ADHD and can think about many things at the same time meaning my life is very full and exciting!

AShepherdsTail · 12/07/2024 14:12

stronger than I thought since being widowed twice by 53,
Good thick hair despite the menopause
Bloody good in a crisis or emergency (see first part of post🫤)

ErmsnPerms · 12/07/2024 14:46

I like that I can easily put myself in other's shoes, and I'm very non-judgemental and understanding. Everybody's battle and all that.
It's a quality my lovely mum has passed down to me, I've seen her shine through in some situations I've been in and it's brought a smile to my face.

SinisterBumFacedCat · 12/07/2024 15:00

That I’m resilient when dealing with situations for years that other people crumble within weeks.

That I can find humour in the darkest situations.

I never get bored, I always can find something creative to occupy my mind even if it’s just daydreaming, I can watch an entire films worth of entertainment in my brain.

I know exactly what colour goes with what, I can create jewellery based colour themes or pictures or memories of places. I can draw pretty well.

I have nice eyes, high cheekbones, a decent waist and long hair. chronic pain has made me appreciate the parts of my body that still work.

Mumofmarauders · 12/07/2024 15:03

I'm not beautiful or particularly clever but I'm just nice. People often ask me to look after their kids when they have emergencies and they know I'll be kind and fun and reliable. It happened this morning and I just suddenly thought, I love that sort of person, so I guess that means I love me!

Tittyfilarious · 12/07/2024 15:07

I'm very easy going , I'm funny and I'm kind I'll help anyone anyway I can .

fiddleleaffig · 12/07/2024 15:08

I love how passionate I am about making a fair and equal society.
I love how strong and confident I am.
I love how I always want to know more, learn more and grow more. It does mean I struggle to stick at things, but also has given me such a wealth of knowledge about so many different things. The day I stop learning is the day I die.
I love my body, it is a really nice hourglass shape. I love my long, thick hair, and I think I have a pleasant face.
I love that I'm nice, and kind which some people might think as boring and dull, but I'm proud of those attributes. But I am also a fierce warrior if I'm ever wronged, I am not afraid to stick up for myself - or anyone else - and I always try and follow my conscience and not the crowd.

Carriemac · 12/07/2024 16:20

I'm a great mum and a really good friend . And I have nice hair

thefamous5 · 12/07/2024 16:22

I have beautiful eyes - they're bright blue and big

I have nice thighs - I'm a bit overweight , but I have 'thick thighs' and I love them.

I'm a good mum.
