Ahem! Has anyone else besides Wants2Fly noticed today's tag line in my signature? We need to become aware of those nasty, ugly things we tell ourselves about us and counter them with exactly the opposite! Like I suggested to Wants2, do it even if you don't believe it at first. You'll be surprised at the change in you after a while. I'm living proof of it.

"I"m lazy" = "I'm depressed but it's controllable."
"I'm ugly" = "I'm okay. Remember all the boyfriends you used to have as a teenager? YEAH!"
"I'm fat" = "I chose to be this way but I can diet any time I make up my mind to."
"I'm worthless" = "You did a fantastic job raising your kids. Never bailed one out of jail or had to deliver them to a hospital to 'get them clean and sober.' " "You're a damn good writer!"

I'm sure all of you can do the same. If you can't... just ask me and I'll give you a starting point.
