I know we all get stuff in our email, however today I received the following and really thought all of us could us it, even the males here.....so I have changed a bit of it to reflect on us all...

Person to Person Encouragement
Someone will always be better looking. They will always be smarter. Their house will be bigger. They will drive a better car. Their children will do better in school. Their spouse will fix more things around the house, cook for them and spend more time with them.
So let it go, and love you and your circumstances. Think about it. The best looking person in the world can have hell in their heart. The most highly favored person on your job may be unable to have children. The richest person you know --may have the car, the house, and the clothes --but might be lonely.
So, love you. Love who you are right now. Tell yourself "I am too blessed to be stressed."
"To the world you might be one person, but to one person you just might be the world."

As Desiderata tells us so eloquently, "If you compare yourself with others, you may become vain and bitter; for always there will be greater and lesser persons than yourself." I try to remember these wise words, and live by them. Thanks for the reminder Mary.

p.s. have you ever seen that spoof cartoon on the internet, where they show the differences between men and women, looking in the mirror? The first caption shows a stunningly beautiful female, looking in the mirror, and she sees a fat, ugly, person, focussing on all her faults.... Then they show an obese, balding man looking in the mirror, and he sees this buff, musclebound, GQ model!!! Too funny!

Well, when I started the message it was titled woman to woman, I just don't thinks that fair......so I re-worded some of it....I have not seen that woman/man mirror thing, going to search for it right now. My A will ask me when we are watching a Steven Segal (one of my favorites) Movie, "that's what I look like huh?" LOL It has become a running joke now, as I will turn towards him, close my eyes and say "yeah you do" LOL
