Just Saying

To say that I don't give a darn about your opinion or what you say is a big fat lie. I am human. I want you to think well of me. With that being said, I will not let what you say good or bad, rub me the wrong way. I spent a lot of years letting folk dictate my life. I was a doormat, and folk walked all over me continuously. Until I realized that the only opinion that really mattered was the one that I felt about myself. Think about it; we are with ourselves the most, even when are in a room full of people. So like me or hate me, I shall be ok.

The only way to be in a world like we are in today - steadfast and a little cheeky. Well said Alexis. Hugs and blessings, Jennifer.

Well put, my friend, Alexis. Someone doesn't like you; they are the problem. Thanks for letting us know where you are in your life. I like people that tell it like it is. Hugs, Bill

Oh Well Said My Friend! I like to say when someone says they don't like me, "That's okay. I have lived my whole life without that person in my life and done well. I figure I can get along without them a while longer." The Bible tells us that as long as God is pleased with us we have nothing and no one else to worry about. So I try to please Him and as long as He is happy so am I. Good stuff. Love it. God Bless, JB

Most people careen through life, bouncing from one snag to the next, with only self to blame for their misfortunes. After meeting one's quota, one's attitude may change to, "Ha ha! You missed me!" Aloha!
