Ah, the almost too beautiful to look directly at Hilly has repeated last year’s success with launching another Self Love Day! Right, the ‘rules’:
1.) Grab a banner. If you don’t like the one I’ve used in this post, you can find another one here.
2.) Post that banner and with it tell us all something that you really like love about yourself (thus, the “self-love” portion of our program).
3.) Ask or beg your readers to post one thing that they too love about you!!! If your blog friends are nice, you shouldn’t have to beg…much.
4.) Stop by and let Hilly know you did it.
So, what the devil do I love about myself? I read my entry for last year and I still agree with all that. I still don’t need the validation to keep doing what I do.
And that’s what I love about myself. That I am still standing, that after all the crap that has happened in my life I am still able to get out of bed and face each day. Yes, sometimes it is hard and sometimes I just want to wallow in misery but I keep going. I keep helping those I can help and giving my time, and knowledge, and self because I believe we should help as much as we can every day. I like that if I know something and you need to know I will help you with it; and if I don’t know I will do my damnedest to find out. I love that after all this time there is still no quit in me!
Right, if you want to see the other Self Love Day posts, head over to Hilly’s Google Reader’s Shared Items
Oh, if you want to read something that will make you cry/smile/throw up in a good way then head over to All That Comes With It. Dan shows his softer side…
Now, I’m off to watch St Elmo’s Fire in bed.

I always wanted to be Emilo Estervez (or however you spell it) in St Elmos Fire. Purely because I had a hankering to wear Hawaiian shirts.
For a really good 80’s romance movie you should either go for Some Kind of Wonderful or the best film in the world barr none: The Sure Thing

Dan - So it was the Hawaiian shirt and not the older woman thing? If I had either of hose two films I would watch them… but sigh, ’tis not to be. Although I am considering a Love Actually follow up to ‘Elmo’s.

Add a webcam comment? I don’t dare. Where is that webcam thing, anyway? Oh, over there. Anyway, Happy Self Love Day. I love that you’re a geeky gal. And I love your blog design.

Karl - The webcam comment one is erratic.
Thank you - that’s me not changing the blog for a bit then - mind you am using up all those energy points on the Scout one… which may never get finished!
Avitable - You just totally made my day! Happy Valentine’s Day to you too!

I am going to be absolutely honest here, and say that I love that you are British. I love that I live my dream vicariously through you. I love reading about your life. I love how you even WRITE like a Brit.
I don’t ONLY love you because you’re British, but I will always love that about you because it’s what first brought me here. Plus, someday I hope to bunk on your sofa while visiting the UK.

Damn being sick or I’d totally video comment too!
I love that you are so sweet and giving when others are down and really need it. You are great at being empathetic which is a quality I look for in a friend!

SJ - Now if that isn’t an incentive to sort out a new place to live I don’t know what is! Whenever I have a couch it is yours to have!
lia - Yes! Bah Humbug to St V’s Day - thank the chocolate fountain that’s over for another year!
Hilly - Rest, recuperate, look fantastic doing it! Sweet and giving… that’s me. I don’t know why… Selfish and bitter is the way I see myself.
Selma - Thank you - Hilly does come up with the best ideas!
