A fun meme by Becca at BeccA’s Buzz! Check her out!
The ‘Give Me Five’ Monday meme is designed to share fun information with each other in a simple, short list! Here’s how it works. Each week, I will put out a random topic from my list of topics and you share 5 answers of your choice on the given topic and link back here! You can add photos, links or stories or just a simple list of your own of 5 things that relate to the topic as it pertains to you and your life experiences. It doesn’t have to be in any order of importance unless otherwise specified.
Sign up for weekly reminder emails at beccagirl@charter.net.
This week’s assignment: Give Me 5 positive traits or accomplishments you admired in a person or persons that you aren’t getting along with or have hurt or offended you in the past.
1- My soon-to-be (said hopefully)ex: He has always been a very hard worker.
2- “K”, someone I was best friends with for over 20 years (we are no longer friends): She had a good eye for decorating.
3- My Mom: Her wicked sense of humor. Her strong will and determination, even in the worst of times.
4- My Dad: His intelligence.
5- A previous boss, “I”: She was usually very fair.
I really like this week’s theme. I think it’s healthy to take some of the focus off of the negative by remembering something positive!
Send me a cup of java!

I’m glad you liked the topic this week. I thought maybe I would change it up a bit. The GM5 is like a box of chocolates, you never know what you’re gonna get! LOL
You’ve done a great job translating my intentions here.

Great list.

That is actually a really good thing to do in general. I need to think more positively.

You mentioned on someone else’s post that this week’s topic really made you think and I am a smart woman…well, I just felt like this week’s topic was really for us. It wasn’t an opportunity for your readers to delve into your personal life, it was more of an exercise for us to look at our own emotions and growth since not being with these people anymore and to try and see things in a positive light. I’m so glad you all participated, there were several emails I got saying thanks, but no thanks. So I fell maybe the Lord can work on them with that. Showing grace and forgiveness and searching for the positive is what we want God to do for us so it’s the least we can do for each other!!!
