Oooh, I love a challenge (non threatening, of course):
1. I am a very good listener. I took classes to do this. (That is not a joke.) I'm not one to jump in and finish other people's statements. I let them finish, digest what I've heard, and make my reply.
2. I can sing on key and remember melodies easily. My favourite all time game show was Name That Tune, and I still play it with my husband.
3. Cats love me. I talk cat. It's in the whiskers, believe me.
4. I have a good memory for directions, so I'm handy to take hiking (as long as you carry me up any hills), or driving in an unfamiliar city.
5. I'm well read, and I read quickly. When I'm up to par, and on holiday, I can consume 3 books a week. Yum!
6. I can cook well, and can improvise with what's in the cupboard. I'm not too messy in the kitchen, but doing dishes is not my strength. I have made my own ketchup and won third place at a country fair.
7. I know how to keep honeybees and am handy if someone is frantic about a stinging insect. I took a course at a local agricultural college. (I'm not keeping any hives at the moment, though.)
8. I'm a compassionate person. I figure if I have any energy to spare, it's best to give it away. I do not discriminate and don't prejudge that I'm aware of. Suffering is suffering, no matter who it is.
9. I'm very committed to my recovery and have every intention of getting on top of my depression, anxiety, and panic attacks. I'm not bothered about having to stay on medications, or changing them, or pursuing other forms of treatment. I think the brain is the most misunderstood organ in our bodies and the adventure is just beginning in the field of medicine and science.
10. I think I express myself well in the written word, although the best writing I save for my shopping lists.
and here's a bonus: I have a bonafide sense of humour.
