My Favorite Thing About Me
What’s your favorite thing about yourself? My favorite thing about me is my decisiveness. It has taken work for me to become a decisive person. In the past it would take me a long time to make a decision. Often I would get overwhelmed and just let someone else decide. I used to hem and…
