"It's not our disadvantages or shortcomings that are ridiculous, but rather the studious way we try to hide them, and our desire to act as if they did not exist."
-- Giacomo Leopardi
Call me blessed, I guess, 'cause I have a spouse who is deliberate, persistent, and regular about pointing out to me just what my 'disadvantages & shortcomings' are ...
No matter how studious I get, trying to hide from who and what I am, have no fear. There's always my husband to bring me back to front and center, with no holds barred.

That's all well and good and I admire your attitude, as long as he balances it with telling you how gifted you are in so many areas and what a beautiful soul you have!!!!! If memory serves me correctly it takes 25 positives to counterbalance 1 negative.
Please know I'm sending 100 positives!
of course, that post was done entirely tongue in cheek; you know that. in my lifetime, i've never got 25 positives to counterbalance a negative - at least, not from the one issuing the negatives. BUT if you take the POSITIVES that i have received, and continue to receive, from loving friends & relatives ... then YES, it might be what keeps me (relatively) sane. THANKS, ANN. I always love and appreciate your comments.
It sure is nice to know that I'm not the only one that's imperfect. As I think about it, I think I have more imperfects than you. God does have mercy on us, huh? Praise God for that. He is the one who judges.
Love you my perfect sister, Francia
