Ha! I don't even need other people to do that.
So THAT's where we got the line from, "No one can take advantage of you without your permission."
Hi. Will you be my friend? Seriously.
I had the Eleanor Roosevelt quote on the board in my classroom, with Frank Warren's: "Everyone has at least one secret that would break your heart. If we could just remember this, I think there would be a lot more tolerance and compassion in the world."
Not that the teenagers in question ever read anything I wrote on the board, but still.
Hi Sarah, been reading your blog for a few years now, on and off, and you always manage to bring a smile to my face. You sometimes even manage to put into words what I have thought or felt or related to on quite a few occasions, which rings true with this post. I just wrote both of these quotes out on a peice of paper and have them floating aorund in my handbag for moments when you need to remind yourself that everyone is in fact, just human. Thanks and I am so happy for you that you have found a man that can get along with your family like he was meant to be there all along.
Great quoting - love it. So true. And worth hearing again and again.
That Eleanor Roosevelt quote is one of my faves too...and it's so true.
