Ten things I'm learning to accept about myself:
1) I am a hoarder. Now, I know it's fun to throw around those types of labels, but I actually have a psychological diagnosis. I am a hoarder. There is no place nearby where I live that offers professional mental health services for this disorder. I've been working hard to keep the clutter at bay and not stockpile things I might repurpose. Since I moved I've been working hard. It feels good but it's hard work.
2) This is my body. I have been the same size for twenty years with minimal fluctuation, so this is my set point.
3) I need glasses. They used to be for reading only. But I noticed today that the world is fuzzy without them.
4) I do not like keeping house. I find no enjoyment in vacuuming or dusting. Or scrubbing. No enjoyment. At all. I will most likely continue to pay the cleaning lady to come every month.
5) I like alone time.
6) I like quiet. I don't need background noise or music or anything.
7) I love my independence. This was so obvious when I needed help because of my broken foot. I still need help but I am more independent now that I can remove the boot to drive. I missed my freedom. And privacy.
8) I will never be wealthy. At least not monetarily. I've got wealth in other measures.
9) My feelings are deep. I may not outwardly express them but I feel deeply.
10) I am a work in progress.

I can find a reason to keep just about anything. I am ridiculously sentimental about everything. It gets in the way of throwing things away.
Glasses are fun. I am now sorry I spent so many years in contacts. Contacts are work. Glasses are easier and you can switch them with your outfits.
