MercyA Posted May 15, 2020 Posted May 15, 2020 (edited) Mine right now are: kind, helpful, thin. I know the last one is terribly shallow and I should say "healthy" instead. Yours? Edited May 15, 2020 by MercyA 5 Quote
73349 Posted May 15, 2020 Posted May 15, 2020 Kind, generous, wise. I wish that as a kid, I had seen working on personal growth modeled. I mostly saw people aspiring to economic growth instead. 3 Quote
Scarlett Posted May 15, 2020 Posted May 15, 2020 Merciful, measured, and thin. I am right there with you on that @MercyA 🙂 1 1 Quote
Spryte Posted May 15, 2020 Posted May 15, 2020 Kind, patient, healthy. Those were my thoughts upon reading the thread title. But I’m thinking it should possibly be ... patient, patient, patient. 🤣 2 Quote
Noreen Claire Posted May 15, 2020 Posted May 15, 2020 Patient, wise, and strong. Currently failing at all three. 😔 1 1 Quote

MercyA Posted May 15, 2020 Author Posted May 15, 2020 We love you, @StellaM. You are very worthwhile! My behaviors also do not show a true aspiration to thinness--but I am trying to change that! Hence posting it publicly here. Even if it's not one of the more higher virtues, LOL. 🙂 1 1 Quote

I aspire to not waking up thinking I am a worthless piece of rubbish 😞 Though I'd like thin too! (I did think about thin...but decided that my behaviours did not indicate a true aspiration to thin!) This makes me sad! I think you are more than worthwhile. I put merciful......because I lean hard toward being unable to forgive which is a real problem. There is a song in my religion that says ‘mercy is a virtue that we all should cultivate. It will keep us from resentment and the bitterness of hate..’. It is a beautiful song, but I usually cry through the entire song especially that line. 2 Quote

I don’t know you outside of the forum, but let me assure you that you most definitely are NOT a piece of rubbish. That much I am certain about. 1 Quote
Another Lynn Posted May 16, 2020 Posted May 16, 2020 Honest Calm bored/disengaged/slightly rebellious/perimenopausal/everyone else can jump in a lake - until they can't because I'm a hypocrite and actually care a tiny bit but then I don't I lack sufficient vocabulary for that last one. 😳 Quote
