I was reading a blog where the author was talking about how whenever we make lists about ourselves we always put things that we like or roles that we fill but rarely put actual character traits that we have. Actual adjectives that describe who we are inside. I have been thinking about this ever since. Who am I really...if you take away my hobbies, my role as wife and mother, daughter and sister what is left should be me right? She challenged everyone to find 10 adjectives that describe who we are. So, here's my attempt...
hopeful, gullible, intelligent, loyal, moody, nervous, compassionate, concerned, confident, considerate, impatient, indecisive
I don't think this list is all inclusive and there are many traits I wish I had that I'm trying to develop too. I hope you'll all join with me in trying this out. I'd like to see your lists so don't be shy! If you need help thinking of things try going here where I got ideas from. Post them in the comments or if you are making a blog post instead please leave a comment so I can check your post out.

I am overbusy. :) I just caught up on you. I've been having a heck of a time keeping up with my blog reading and posting. I suppose that is the way it goes sometimes. Congratulations on sewing your pillowcase. It will get better. I laughed about the wiggles, sorry he hasn't branched out yet. I have a few favorite book recommendations for you. You've probably read them all but these are some favorites, recent and not so recent: The Poisonwood Bible, The Hiding Place, As I Have Loved You, The Kite Runner, A Thousand Splendid Suns, These Is My Words, Snowflower and the Secret Fan, Me and Emma or Emma and Me - I can't remember which order - not Emma Smith. Sorry I forgot to get back to you about the concert. Life is extra crazy right now. It will slow down right?...
Lets see...
Anxious, faithful, impatient, lonely, cautious, eager, confused, generous, clumsy, honest.
So many good ones on that list, but these are the best I think.
