Why Are You Awesome?

[browngirl]

I'm borrowing a page from cereta, who asked for those reading to answer her question, "Why are you awesome?" So I'm asking the same thing.

I'm awesome because I made this icon.

By which I mean: When I drew this icon's image I was thinking of Indian art and American folk art I'd seen recently, consciously trying to create an image that drew from several different artistic traditions, and I like that creativity and love of diversity in my nature.

I drew this to use as a winter holiday card, to please people, because I like making people happy with little things like pretty, unusual cards. I figured out how to scan it and create an icon from it, which is no great feat of technology in the grand scheme of things but which was a bit of an accomplishment for me.

So. My awesomeness in 100x100 form.

Also, when I lost the image, I was able to ask my friends for copies of it and was sent a couple, so I am awesome for having chosen awesome friends. *laugh at myself*

You are awesome because you keep on keepin' on.

I am awesome for the same reason, especially in the sense of surviving six years of my firstborn with undiagnosed ADHD without giving up on him or on me.

I HAVE THAT IMAGE on a holiday card you sent me 2 years ago - I kept it, because it had such lyrical movement to it, and was so pretty.

It is an awesome picture, and I love it every day. Like I love YOU. :D

[edit] I am awesome because I care about people, and I am good at understanding others' points of view.

Not to mention the awesome time I've had with musicians jamming along on the music that picture inspired when you gave it to me as a prompt for "Helium Composer."

That is only one of the many reasons you are awesome. :)

I am awesome because I just, in about 10 minutes, figured out "It's A Small World," complete with chords, by ear, and prepared a Mozartian performance of the chorus on piano.

I am awesome because I am taking care of a lot of tasks to help my household function more smoothly in this week of Many Things Happening.

Of course, so has the rest of the household been working hard on stuff. Which makes them awesome too :)

I'm awesome because I'm me.

I'm awesome because I'm starting to realize that the uniqueness of being me is awesome in it's own right with no other clarifications.

I'm also awesome because of what I've accomplished throughout my life and for the fact of retaining a hope and belief in the goodness, kindness and potential in people.
