My friend Hilly rawks!! Last year she started Self Love Day on Valentines day. It doesn’t mean that if you have an SO that you totally have to swear off on Valentines Day, or as Hilly calls it–Pink Day (which is much shorter than Valentines Day and less suggestive than VD) and leave your SO hangin’. It just means that you should need to love yourself first and foremost. You need to find your good qualities.
1.) Post one of them thar banners on your blog and declare February 14th as the day you not only love your one and only, but the day that you love yourself!
2.) Post one nice thing about yourself……then ask others to post one thing that they really like about you.
3.) Enjoy yourself!
*sigh*
I vowed that I would do this. It is really hard for me. When I grew up (maybe when everyone grew up), it was not looked on favorably to like yourself. You were considered “stuck up” or “stuck on yourself”. I learned how to find my faults pretty quickly. I was so NOT any of the things that I used to think of myself. Maybe that’s true now, too. In any case, I am to list one thing that I like about myself.
I think that the quality that I like best in myself is my passion. I am a very passionate person. I don’t mean that in a sexual way, I mean that I am never lukewarm on anything. I feel strongly about just about every issue in my life. I think that makes life harder for me, but I have known people who are just so passive and they don’t seem to have any real passion in their lives. I think that is boring. Let me restate that. I think that is BORING. I am not boring. I think that I bring a lot to the table in the way of emotion when I have a relationship with someone, be it friendship, marital or familial. You will always know how I feel about something. And if you don’t, you weren’t paying attention.
So. What do you like about me? You are supposed to list at least one thing, but I will not shoot you if you come up with more. 
Happy VD Pink Day.
I like the fact that you’re stuck on yourself :d/
When I say this, it’s not a total shit cop-out answer….you are nice. I hardly ever call someone genuinely NICE, but you really are.
I love your generous nature. You go out of your way to help your friends whether it is at work, on the blogs or anywhere else!
Love ya Shel!! @};-@};-@};-@};-@};-@};-
I love your heart, the way you care so much about the people in your life. Your heart is the biggest and most beautiful part of you.
And that’s just of 1,000,000 reasons I love you. xo
I love that you are just genuinely nice and soft hearted.
And I’d never be able to do this on my blog. Ever. So I love that you are braver than I am.
Your heart, just as others beat me to saying
Happy Pink Day to you!
You are genuine, funny, and nice! And You are brave!
You rock!
Love and Hugs Shelli!

Turn–Thank you. That made me feel good. I’m sorry that it took me so long to reply to your comment. I am not usually this neglectful to my commentors, life just gets in the way sometimes.
