I didn’t mean to imply I’ve never had anything good said, just that I cannot seem to recall them. On the other hand I seem really good at recalling some of the negative things. I really need a mental inversion.
Okay, not vying for the best thing ever said, but something that made my day. The other day in a thread on the board about a new poster looking for advice, Kat listed my name out of the blue.
Judy, Thank you, you set a great example. :o
mega, I love those stories! Thank you for sharing them.
OgreFade, that’s what I believed for most of my life. 'Tain’t so. You are special. You are worthy. And, you only need that one right girl, the others just don’t know what they’re missing. That’s great that you are telling yor parents thanks!
You sing in my consciousness like a counterpoint to my life.
L.L.
That’s my name, not a description. I am neither purple nor a bear. Okay, so I’m purple.<a true Wally original!>
sigh I tried, I really did. Darn pesky typos keep sneaking in. it should say ‘your parents’
Irishman, hello again. Keep thinking, I’m sure there are more of them for you to remember.

<<<<<Most of the time I think its because the things they say, couldn’t be true.>>>
Hon, why would people lie telling you something kind? Most people are too busy in their own lives to risk lying to someone to encourage them. Don’t shut your heart down so early in life, okay?
<<<<<I’m tall, thats a good thing. I can reach the top shelf most of the time >>>>>>>
This isn’t a ‘small’ thing (teeny pun, here!) Last night at Wal Mart, I had to ask a young man if he would reach something on the top shelf, he smiled and did so. I then told him, I could reach the low stuff for him, he laughed and said he would keep me in mind. Tallness can be a very helpful thing!!
<<<<<<<Just a little depressed I guess, I go to a college with 6000+ females here. None of them like me It happens to be my fault I gather. Perhaps that is where it stems from.>>>>
Maybe it is the mom in me that gets so touched my young people, you remind me of my son. He’s been rejected by a few people at the Christian university that he goes to, and it’s been a very tough semester because of it.
These times can be really lonely, and people band together to fight that off, but sometimes they will turn against those they feel uncomfortable around, whatever their reasons might be. It is also a time for you (and DJ, my son) to decide whether what others do should determine so much of how you feel and look at yourselves.
Do you realize how much power you give those other people, how worthy would someone have to be, to be given that??
Where you are in your life, you’ll never be again, and you can make it better, by just deciding to. Cultivate the positive things that you see, and make them your focus, not what others say or do. That * is their focus don’t let it be yours too *
Irishman: says a lot about how cool Kat is!!
