A Pat on the Back

A pat on the back, though only a few vertebrae removed from a kick in the pants, is miles ahead in results.

Bennet Cerf

Who are you going to pat on the back today??

I Didn’t Belong

I didn’t belong as a kid, and that always bothered me. If only I’d known that one day my differentness would be an asset, then my early life would have been much easier.

Bette Midler

I wonder how many of us could say something along those same lines?

 

Do You Know Your Worth?

Deep down we really kow our worth, but we don’t have easy access to that knowledge. We need to hear praise coming from outside ourselves or we won’t remember that we deserve it.

Barbara Sher

Which means… we should praise at least one person a day for something… for anything. And hopefully, we will receive just as much as we give!

Fashion today…

“Today, fashion is really about sensuality—how a woman feels on the inside. In the ’80s women used suits with exaggerated shoulders and waists to make a strong impression. Women are now more comfortable with themselves and their bodies—they no longer feel the need to hide behind their clothes.”
Donna Karan

About Common Sense

Common sense is the collection of prejudices acquired by age eighteen.

A Quote about Friendship

For all of us, by permitting us to see ourselves in the mirror of their affection, friends help to anchor our self image, to validate our identity.

Lillian B. Rubin

So… choose your friends wisely.

Being a Friend :)

Don’t walk in front of me, I may not follow.
Don’t walk behind me, I may not lead.
Just walk beside me and be my friend.– Albert Camus
