i was feeling blue the other day. when my daughter was growing up (almost 20 now) and she felt blue or that she couldnt accomplish something important to her, i used to sit her down and make her repeat after me:

i am smart
i am talented
i am creative
i am trustworthy
i am loyal
i am truthful
i am loving
i am kind
i am brilliant
i am skillful
i am honest, and most of all
I AM BEAUTIFUL!

so im talking to her on the phone feeling blue and behold...she says, "repeat after me"....

funny how things come back to you....

YES HUN..........WOT GOES AROUND .......COMES AROUND, BLESS HER!!
AND HAVING SAID THAT SOME PEOPLE NEED TO B CAREFUL THEN !!!!

Positive reinforcement is always a good thing

yes ma'am to that. ive always been a believer in karma...what you put you, you get back 10 fold!

it was actually wonderful hearing that from my daughter. its like all those times i thought she never listened...she really did.

i think so too susan

nice story. thanks for sharing.

you're welcome jtip

I have a 4 year old daughter....just hope she's like that when she is your daughters age

you've done a good job raising her, madam
