You had words to summarize a lot of what has been rambling through my brain. My problem is that I am now 'over it' and I feel really negative in social situations.Jenniferhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03903375700915031290noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1897162731696076185.post-69346325833501371872008-08-11T13:29:00.000-04:002008-08-11T13:29:00.000-04:00GM-You got me.

Ok, maybe not funnier... : )<BR/><BR/>I'm just so thankful you're my friend (and future roommate)anyway....Jonihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06350356754256496846noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1897162731696076185.post-50514302482069514012008-08-11T12:50:00.000-04:002008-08-11T12:50:00.000-04:00Ok.

I should have known you were feeling discouraged when you used my name at Panera. Listen, God made us all special. Not everyone can have hair color like mine. It takes a LONG time for the ends to look like they've been dipped in white paint. And to have roots like mine...well...have patience. <BR/>And it must have been an extra blow when I could pay for my meal... <BR/><BR/>Seriously, great post. I love the verse "Comparison is the thief of all joys." I don't know exactly where in the Bible it is..but I know it is in there.<BR/><BR/>Ps. yes... that is my last joke about your unfortunate debit card incident.georgiamomhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04361208383322208574noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1897162731696076185.post-30626582390783712892008-08-10T12:43:00.000-04:002008-08-10T12:43:00.000-04:00Reunions are tough.

It can be the "land of comparisons" and make you questions the priorities and choices made according to the standards of the world.<BR/><BR/>But, I bet if you asked your family - particularly your children - their thoughts on the influence you have had in your own household, they wouldn't have you any other way.Jonihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06350356754256496846noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1897162731696076185.post-11291122684447574902008-08-09T20:52:00.000-04:002008-08-09T20:52:00.000-04:00The first paragraph was excellent timing for me as...The first paragraph was excellent timing for me as I've been second guessing myself all night long. <BR/><BR/>You see... tonight 'back home' is my 20th High School reunion. I was on the fence on whether to go or not...<BR/><BR/>Not feeling good enough as I'm not an accomplished, well, anything. I'm not a psychologist or a doctor. I didn't get my masters degree. I'm not thin and beautiful. I don't make a million dollars...<BR/><BR/>ya know? Not that most of my classmates probably do either (some of them - yes, but most, probably not) Still - I couldn't do it.<BR/><BR/>I didn't go. I stayed home tonight and made a new tote bag instead.
