revdorothyl at 05:27pm on 21/02/2005At the risk of sounding like I'm doing "Deep Thoughts by Jack Handey" or "Daily Affirmations with Stuart Smalley," I had to pass along these little gems, which were forwarded to me by a friend in Italy and really brightened my mood when I read them. I'm not sure I believe or agree with all of them, but here they are, along with the personal commentary I couldn't resist adding:
1. There are at least two people in this world that you would die for. [No question about that.]
2. At least 15 people in this world love you in some way. [That would be nice . . . ]
3. The only reason anyone would ever hate you is because they want to be just like you. [Gee, and all this time I thought it was because I'm sort of obnoxious . . . !]
4. A smile from you can bring happiness to anyone, even if they don't like you. [Have to think this over -- I guess it's true that a genuine smile, as opposed to a smirk, makes me feel better, even when it's coming from someone I find difficult to like.]
5. Every night, SOMEONE thinks about you before they go to sleep. [This one, and the next few, are a little hard to believe, but I'd really like to take them on faith.]
6. You mean the world to someone.
7. You are special and unique.
8. Someone that you don't even know exists, loves you.
9. When you make the biggest mistake ever, something good comes from it.
10. When you think the world has turned its back on you, take another look.
11. Always remember the compliments you received. Forget about the rude remarks.
12. And always remember... When life hands you lemons, ask for TEQUILA AND SALT! [Though those would be even better with limes.]

Although personally, where number 11 is concerned, I try to remind myself I should probably ignore assessments of me that come from either my biggest critic or my biggest fan. I think I may have learned that from fandom.
