6 and 6 and 6

October 21, 2008

My friend Beth tagged me for this meme. Another blogger, Heather, asked for 6 random facts, so I’m counting this as answer to her meme too. Multi-tasking, right? :)

6 Things I Value

I suppose this can be done different ways, but I am writing here about core beliefs, things I hope are still true about me when I am 80, things that I hope my children will take with them into adulthood.

1. Faith in God above all

2. Love for family no matter what

3. The ability to work hard without complaining

4. Honesty, even when it would be easier to lie

5. The ability to forgive, even when someone doesn’t deserve it

6. The ability to count your blessings, even on tough days

6 Things I Don’t Support

1. Racism

2. Laziness and whining

3. Unwillingness to see your own blessings

4. Wasteful use of resources for selfish purposes

5. Blindness to the injustice in the world.

6. Unwillingness to step out and help those in need.

6 People I Tag

I don’t know who might be inspired to do this, but if you’d like to share your own answers to these questions, leave your link in comments.  Maybe I can even get 6 people?  Let me know!
