"If standing up for yourself burns
a bridge, I have matches. We ride
at dawn." The Inspiring Souls
I so get a kick out of those odd bits
of wisdom neatly packaged in sweet
little sayings! And this one's a goody!
We indeed talk about standing up for
ourselves with other people. Still, it
occurs to me that we should be more
worried about standing up for our-
selves with ourselves. After all, aren't
we the ones who put ourselves down
most severely?!
"Looks like you've regained some
weight," I say into the morning mirror.
"No reason why you shouldn't finish
that book today!" "You know good and
well you should never, ever have more
than three drinks and no more than a
couple of times a week!" "Better get
this house cleaned, someone might
come over!"
Methinks, being nigh onto a hundred
years old, 'tis high time to stop putting
myself down and ordering moi about!
How much time do I have left for fun
anyway?!
Rather worry about me sometimes,
but I'm working on being perfect just
as I am!
Here's hoping . . .
