100 things

I recently listened to a podcast where the host challenged her readers to list 100 things they love about themselves.  At first I thought it sounded self centered and awkward, but as I listened to her list the things she loves about herself, I decided to take on the challenge.  As I thought about things that I love about myself and began to list them, I realized it's not self centered at all!  In fact, it's pretty hard and vulnerable!
