Honor Yourself

i gotta smile,
laugh,
and shake my head….

it’s amazing to me how often someone i know reads my blog
and thinks that i’m talking about them when i’m saying something
less than complimentary.

we interact, they read something in the blog, and then they wonder.

hmmmmm…..it does make me wonder how we view ourselves!

because! if you read this blog and i know you read this blog, and you’re
someone i interact with – i can guaranteed you, UNLESS IT’S REALLY
A WONDERFUL THING – it’s not about you!~

i wouldn’t do that.

so if that’s ever happened to you….step back and think about that.

hmmmm….
maybe you see yourself in something here when i’m talking about
a struggle i’m having with someone, or when i talk about something
i see around me that i don’t like…

that’s an okay thing….cause maybe you really do see that.
maybe it really COULD be about you.
which is fine.
we all have less than complimentary parts.
so maybe that’s a good thing to notice.
or….
maybe you just worry a lot and feel insecure.

either way, it’s a good thing to look at, isn’t it?

i know i routinely take the not so great stuff i see others doing and
flip it back on me to see if i do it.

i think that’s a GOOD thing to do….that’s how we learn and adjust
and tweak.

it can drive my guy mad when i do that.
he’ll tell me it isn’t all about me.
and yet……for me…….it really is.
if i can take it and grow from it or see myself better or do anything
helpful there for myself…..yeah, i’m gonna flip things i see back on me.

so feel free to do that when you read something that doesn’t sound all that great….
see if it fits….that’s a good thing….
but don’t assume i’m talking about you.
cause i’m really not.
really.

but maybe every bit of it is every one of us.
hmmmmm….

maybe so.

and maybe we just keep on learning by knowing that.
