Tell me what makes YOU special.

[MichiganChic 3,262]

Truthfully, I don't think of myself as special. But, if I have to come up with something, I'm very proud of the daughters I've raised and I like to think that being their mother has contributed to the really wonderful, special people they are. I also have a master's degree in nursing, and while I don't provide hands-on care anymore, I do think the work I do in nursing informatics impacts patients and nurses across the country in a positive way.

There is truly no more important job in the world than being a great mom. The only one that even compares is being a daddy.

I'm an artist, that's what makes me special.

Ok, so this is an awesome thread. I think I "liked" every post in it.

I was independent at 18 and moved across the country from my family, I finished college on my own and earned a BA, often by donating plasma so I could afford to eat (which seemed less awful at the time than it does now), I started my own business, which fingers crossed is still successful, I have a paramedic, RN, and real estate license (none of which I use, but I enjoyed getting them), and I have so far managed to not end up broke, homeless, and forced to explain why I can't eat certain foods at my local Soup kitchen.

I am awesome and always have been.

However, the thing that makes me special is that due to some amazing good luck I met and had the good sense to actually marry a man who is perfect for me and adores me.

How cool is that!

Same here. Also, I'm incredibly humble.

Computers and I get along great, and I find some humans tolerable. It's that second part that really makes me one-of-a-kind!

Yes, yes you are awesome

And I had the good sense to marry my perfect mate, also. 26 years in April

I have a hilarious sense of humor, a quirky fun personality, and "march to my own drummer. " Oh, how true ! I cant help it !!! I just see the funny side of everything ! It's . Not. My. Fault. That is all. I spent 3 years in the Army overseas, Im also a great salesperson, connect with animals , have a love of the English language, married the best husband, had a child and adopted 3 kids from the foster/ adopt program. Whew ! Im learning to cook, (loving it !), and can't wait to see what's coming next in my life !

Sounds like a few folks in this thread might argue with you there, including me!

I've got a smart mouth and a smart mind-both of which helped me to survive the loss of my little boy and go on to have 2 sassy daughters.

I can wiggle my nostrils. I love to do it at people in very serious moments knowing they can't laugh out loud!

What a great thread! Thanks for starting it @LipstickLady.

What's special about me? Maybe because I am the youngest child of 5, but I can get along with just about anyone. This has served me well! In my last job I worked for a state agency and beat out about 10 people to get the job. After being there a few years, I asked the supervisor what made her pick me. I thought maybe it was my obvious expertise, but no, she said that everyone agreed I would be the best to get along with! Turns out the last hire had been a disaster and couldn't get along with anyone.

I now work for the federal government and believe me, this skill continues to come in very handy

Yes, you might argue with me, but I doubt you would win !!!! I always say ''If he was any more laid back , he'd be asleep !" He is calm , patient , easygoing, smart , caring and supportive. And for some unknown reason, is still wildly attracted to me, even after 33 years together. Through thick and thin, literally and figuratively !!!
