I, too, always wanted to please everyone...probably can thank my parents for that....but when I was in my late fifties (oh why did it take that long) I started speaking my mind......everyone started asking my husband if there was something wrong with me!! The only thing wrong with me was that I waited too long to speak up for myself.....thank goodness my children didn't follow in my path......I just turned 66 and find it easier and easier to be myself...

Ha! Gimme a hallelujah sister, me too!

Everyone gets their own bag of stuff to deal with in life. Knowing that somehow makes me less judgmental or angry with my fellow humans. As I opened and began dealing with my "bag," it made me look at people I passed with so much more love. Knowing at one point that my own "bag" of challenges was heavy and demanding yet hidden, I suddenly began smiling more at others and wanting to reach out, because one must assume that the person standing next to you in an elevator or driving alongside on the freeway has their own difficult load. Now, at this age, I have come to admire humans because I look around and think how much downright courage and faith we show at times simply by getting up and getting on with our day.

We're "captains courages" one and all...🙆

Not a song, but a saying:

You can always tell who and what people are by the way they treat people (and animals) they think are less than them.

My Dad taught me to observe people for this when I was 5 - so true.

"Say what you mean, mean what you say".

Here I Go Again ...Whitesnake

Here I go again on my own

Going down the only road I've ever known

And I've made up my mind

I ain't wasting my time

Here I go again on my own...

Anthem:

- My Life, Billy Joel

- I Can See Clearly Now, Johnny Nash

Both very important to me in my youth.

Words to live by:

- No one can make you feel inferior without your consent."

Eleanor Roosevelt

- "There are no facts, only interpretations."

F. Nietzsche

Well, this is so beautiful. Almost made me cry. Cause sometimes I look at people in the same way and think, people are precious~
