I know where you are coming from, but really, black and white thinking was never good for anyone.<br /><br />So what if you did stuff up? who here on this planet hasn't?<br /><br />I am sure your strengths are many, but we all can't be good at everything now, can we? It would be so boring if we were all the same.xx♥Nataliehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12919764140075852854noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1780769436411348454.post-77739042627481153982009-12-03T22:25:21.671-06:002009-12-03T22:25:21.671-06:00® CW: Thanks for the encouragement.

In life, you win some, you lose some, and some get rained out. Pretty good average, overall.<br /><br />Hope your mom's well.Rob-bearhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00171692478879522588noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1780769436411348454.post-5172170525800399212009-12-03T14:03:40.287-06:002009-12-03T14:03:40.287-06:00If at first you don't succeed........

I'm not constantly overwhelmed; its just that some things really do stand up and smack me in the head. I'm all right, for the shape I'm in.<br /><br />® BF: You're right, of course. But as I said to said to Wipso, sometimes things (like Ag Insight) stand up and smack you in the head. <br /><br />® Julie: Thanks. Ironically, our Poodle puppies are black. Reminds me, strangely, of Winston Churchill's comments about the black dog of depression. Don't worry; I'm not about to jump off any bridges. (If I did that in Paris, I would be "in Seine.")<br /><br />® TW: I'm told that entrepreneurs who make it "big,"go bankrupt a time or two before they reach their goals. Somehow, I find that only marginally comforting. But as I said to FF, I'm not going to jump of any bridges about it. Sometimes you have the fight the battle because, as a matter of principle, the battle need to be fought. Spoken by a man who's post-grad studies in University were in ethics.

I Know how hard it is to keep hold of that thought the one where you are not nearly as bad as you think you are. Soneone sonwhere told ne this: I would rather fail all my life than never try for that would truly be a life less lived.

I have gone through my whole life feeling like a fraud waiting to be discovered. Just faking it as I go along.<br /><br />You are no failure and neither am I but we sometimes try to convince ourselves otherwise. And shredding is more fun than burning (for me).<br /><br />I remember when Ella and I burned all our love letters before we moved from Cumberland House to Kindersley. There was NO way we ever wanted the kids to find them and read them.The Blog Fodderhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11441978691701289074noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1780769436411348454.post-62614573181915843722009-12-01T18:38:24.726-06:002009-12-01T18:38:24.726-06:00A person never fails if they never try anything......A person never fails if they never try anything...if you have failed, that means you have been an innovative, pioneer!!! You have courageously followed your dreams!!! But I have a feeling that you tend to be rather hard on yourself...and that you have been very, very successful at a great many things... And I admire you!!! Hope tomorrow is a better day!!!! Sending hugs, and prayers!!!

Thought I'd share a little something that has got me through difficult times....<br />It's all in the State of the Mind<br />If you think you are beaten,<br />you are.<br />If you think you dare not,<br />you don't .<br />If you like to win but you think you can't<br />It's almost sure you won't.<br />If you think you'll lose,<br />you've lost.<br />For out in the world you find<br />success begins with a fellow's will.<br />It's all in the state of the mind.<br /><br />Stay positive.
