Welcome to this week’s edition of Aloha Friday.
In Hawaii, Aloha Friday is the day that we take it easy and look forward to the weekend. So I thought that on Fridays I would take it easy on posting, too. Therefore, I’ll ask a simple question for you to answer. Nothing that requires a lengthy response.
If you’d like to participate, just post your own question on your blog and leave your link below. Don’t forget to visit the other participants! It’s a great way to make new bloggy friends!
My question is:
What is your greatest strength?

I am pretty laid back. After having kids, it seems like I am pretty good at going with the flow – like I realized what is truly important in life and don’t let the little things get to me.
That one is easy – my positive attitude.
I am a natural nurturer. I love to take care of people and I excel the most in it.
Wow…I don’t know! Maybe determination?
Taking care of my family. I love being a mom and my family seems to think I am good at it.
Hummm…I think it would be my sensitivity.
Probably following through on what I say I am going to do. Very helpful in the classroom before, and now at home with my kids.
My smile and patience
Probably mental strength. Physical strength could use a little work.
Hmmm. working with kids. I’m great with kids.
You won an award at Callista’s Ramblings
Not sure. Compassion? =)
Have a great weekend!
Determination.
Organisation and compassion.
my love for my family
Adaptability. I’m a pretty fast learner and can make do in just about any situation. (Not that I always like it!)
…being a caregiver for (&loving) my children and holding our household together.
My greatest strength is that I am empathetic. I really believe we all deserve a little empathy once in a while.
New reader here! (why hello, niced to meet you too! ^_^)
My biggest strength would be my multi-tasking. I can feed my son, fold the laundry, type a report for work and cook dinner all at once – though I’m pretty sure that that’s one of those thingsthat kicks in after labor for all women… like the dreadful hormones…
This is a tough one…it shouldn’t be this hard to think of something…I guess my mult-tasking ability.
Hmm, the answer I usually give in job interviews has been being organized and proactive, but I don’t really feel as if either of those fit anymore. I’m really not sure, sad to say.
Dependability & loyalty, I think.
My greatest strength would have to be my patience.
Loyalty to loved ones and close friends!
Perhaps my loyalty.
Compassion & care & concern for others!
Thats an easy one… my ability to like everyone… I see the good in just about everyone unless they do me wrong!
I’d have to say it’s my ability to stay calm under pressure and in emergencies. I guess that’s why I used to work as an EMT.
It’s being a compassionate person. It allows me to think of others and listen to their voices. Compassion also made me who I am. Nurse/ Counselor uses my Greatest asset , Compassion.
Ummmmm I’m a good listener and I hope a good friend
Good listener and caring.
My greatest strength: I’m never been one to give into peer pressure. So, I guess I am either extremely stubborn or have some great will power! LOL
I think being a mom has given me my greatest strength. I have no fear and will not hold back anything when it comes to my kids. Before my children I would say nothing and let everyone railroad me. Not anymore!!!
probably my patience or compassion
I am super organized.
Humor!
I have to find humor in all things regardless of how crabby I may be.
My greatest strength is perseverance.
Oh those types of questions are always so tough. I went with the ability to keep going even when I want to quit. I guess I could have said determination like an earlier commenter and saved some words. LOL
I am a great listener. People always come to me with their problems just so they can get them off their chest.
My greatest strength would have to be my educational “mind”! I love learning and getting more education and have already gotten my BA, M.Ed. and next is P.HD.
My Family that raised me and my Family that I am raising ~ they all give me strength everyday of my life ~ I love them dearly!!
Determination
i don’t know why i always find this question so hand to answer… loyalty i guess
I’m very positive. I can find the silver lining in almost any situation.
Probably my sense of humor. It gets me through the tough times. One has to laugh to live and live to laugh:)
My greatest strength would be endurance and/or survival. I have not had to use them, very much at least. But I know I will be able to survive almost anything put in my way.
I would like to think that I could use the word endurance interchangeably with unconditional love, and survival with caring for others.
This is a wonderful, insightful question, thanks.

Hmm not sure what you would call it but my ability to solve problems.
I’m very good listener
Critical thinking/problem solving. Also, playing the devil’s advocate.
My perseverance. I never give up.
My empathy. I even did a blog about this type of thing today.
I am the Listener in my group of friends, every one of them can come to me with their problems, so I think that is my greatest strength.
I think my greatest strength is that I keep holding on and don’t give up nomatter how hard it gets.
My intuition! It never fails me. It’s not normally good news but it is strong and correct.
My greatest strength? I can organize anything! I can throw together and amazing party in a heart beat, straighten your pantry, closet and shelves within a blink of eye. YOu need it organized, charted and labeled! I’m your girl!
Swing by the IE Mommy to read and answer my question!
hehehehe my mom calls me the revolutionist… must be my perseverance? lol…
Put perseverance down for me too! I always see the light at the end of the tunnel..it might be a long tunnel, but I can see that light shining!
I think my biggest strength is that I have a very compassionate heart. It also can be a weakness because I have a very hard time being exposed to “reality” that I’m not really a part of. I can’t watch the news anymore because it makes me too depressed.
I have got a long…long… fuse. It really takes a lot to make me mad. It has come in handy many a time in the 20 years of marriage and 6 years being a mom.
I happen to think it would be that I am a great childcare provider. I have a very successful business if I must say.
My spirit. As long as I listen to it and not the chaos around me, I am good to go!
Determination!
Compassion.
mmmmmmmmm……….don’t know.
My greatest strength is my ability to stay positive NO matter what
My greatest strength is to be able to analyze a problem and fix it, even when others give up.
My biggest strength is probably being able to focus on things that are most important (most of the time) and letting the unimportant slide the bottom of the list!
my greatest strength is the ability to read people, and sometimes help them when they need advice.
Probably that I’m a hard worker and I always get things done.
I think my greatest strength is discernment. I watch people to get to know their hearts….
My greatest strength is to be able to listen.
My greatest strength is I am a single mother.
Resilience. I can take a licking and keep on ticking.
My greatest strength I think, is my perseverance. I may not be the smartest but I can persevere to do the things I need to get done and to reach my goals.
Great question. Deep one too. You should give your answer too every week Kailani, we want to know the answers to your Aloha Friday questions too.
The way I can take on a task if I’m determined to do it:) Whatch out, here I come!!:) Check out my question!
Honesty and it gets me in trouble all the time!
I would say that my greatest strength is that I am happy and content with just the basics. I don’t get caught up in wanting stuff just for the sake of having it. No keeping up with the neighbors. I have my own standards and live a fairly simple life. All of these are a benefit in these tough times.
I would say that my greatest strength is that I am content with the simple things of life and don’t get caught up in keeping up with the neighbors or wanting things beyond my means. I strive for an uncluttered life, with emphasis on the core values ….and the rest is frosting on the cake!
I think that one of my greatest strengths is my sense of humor.
