$100 Question Promo Graphic

Welcome to The $100 Question, where fellow BlogHers are asking questions ... and every answer could be worth one hundred dollars!
$100 Question Welcome To My Brain
Let's meet today's host: Christine from Welcome To My Brain

Christine is a former pastor's wife. She and her husband now own an RV park in south Texas, where they raise their five children. She dreaded her hair six months ago, and is enjoying her journey as she witnesses the reactions of others. Dreadlocks can't help but bring out the deeply seeded stereotypes of what is and is not beautiful. What does Christine love about herself? She loves her rebellious hair, of course. Yet she also adores the many wrinkles which continue to multiply across the sides of her face, showing up best when she is in an all-out belly laugh. She blogs her guts out at Welcome To My Brain, where she runs a weekly feature on breastfeeding called "Magical Milk Pic-o-the-Week". Her YouTube videos on therapeutic parenting are receiving attention from other parents, as well as professionals in adoption and foster care.

I love that I have the ability to always look on the bright side of life. I can find joy in the ordinary! Yes, there are trials and hard times, but they seem to be a little easier if I can keep a good outlook and my eye focused on the end goal! I love to laugh also!

What do i love about myself..I can think of what I love about others..but I guess it's my ability to make friends whereever I am..or the way my friends rely on me for advice and actually take it.

...but I've figured out the best stuff. :)

- my dry sense of humor (that my husband totally gets and the rest of the world rolls their eyes at)
- my love of book learnin'
- my ability to be interested in just about everything to some degree
- the fact that my girlfriends tell me I'm unconventional
- and my acceptance that this transplanted-to-the-city girl will always be a farm kid at heart.

Bacallsmom 5 pts

Well, I wouldn't say I love it, but I do like that I accept responsibility--for who I am and for what I do--and don't try to dump things on other people or blame them for my shortcomings. In my experience, this is rare, so I feel good about taking and living up my responsibilites.

I'm 47 and as I get older I like my physical self less and less, although I do get complements on my hair, I don't always like it, I also like my breasts because they make me feel womenly and I get attention because of them

I do feel I'm a nice person.

dddiva 5 pts

Even when things are at their crappiest- I get whatever out of my system very quickly and go right on back to being a cross between Pollyanna and Auntie Mame.

I love my honesty. garrettsambo@aol.com

tclapshaw 5 pts

...I have to admit that I had to think about this question a bit.

I love that I know myself. After 47 years of existence I know I am better with the elderly than with other people's children. My mom's in a care facility and I know I can make the senior citizens there smile, just by being an honest listener, or bringing in my three children, or by sharing a pet of ours. Last time it was a bunch of baby chickens, and the seniors LOVED them!

I love that I'm finally at ease with my body. I love that my priorities are straight, and that I've learned I am responsible for my own happiness.

Thanks for a great question!

Atreau 5 pts

I have overcome great obstacles. I have lost all my natural pigment to extensive Vitiligo. I was also morbidly obese and have lost over 100 lbs through Weight Watchers and exercise.

I hate that I let things get to that extreme but I like that I have been able to manage and take control of the situation.
