A person is a person no matter.......

how big, small, wierd, silly, nerdy, happy, you name the adjective (if I am even correct at whatever is used to describe a noun)...anyway, it's late or super early whichever way you want to look at it! for me it's late! Anyway I've really been pondering me and how I perceive other people lately...mostly since Mike gave me that personality test...and really points out to me that I perceive others to have hidden agendas...anyway, I guess to a degree I do...but it sounds so negative...and it is...and anyway, I've been pondering that. I have come to the conclusion that who cares what others think...we need to just live and be happy...right!?!?!?!? besides...we all are soooo much alike...we all sit on a toilet to deposit you know what...we all put our pants on one leg at a time...unless your are super talented....we all are children of a Heavenly Father... and I realize how much I may have missed out getting to know some pretty cool people in my past by assuming (that hidden agenda thing) they wouldn't like me or I don't fit in, or they aren't my type....and I'm really loving how I am being proved wrong over and over...I enjoy people and what I can learn from them and well...we are all precious and like my not so favorite (because it's played over and over and over and over and.....) movie say's "a person is a person, no matter how small"...from Horton Hears a Who....I also hope to be more tough skinned...not let things get to me...I set out this new year to be respectful and so far I've botched that. The other day I stood up for myself in the name of respect....but I realized it didn't feel so good and I don't think I did it for that reason either...so I am pretty flawed and it's no surprise...we all are...I just think I am going to try a different approach to my RESPECT and follow some great advice from Elder Bednar and not get offended so easily. I realize that I am not so self observant of my own self...I use to take pride thinking I was aware of the things I did so that I wouldn't offend...but I've been selfish lately...my desire to change that will make for better days...I truly do love my family, circle of friends and the desire to expand that. I am thankful for the connections to old friends from high school...and it's neat to be inspired by you and your lives. It's interesting to how I feel so connected to some I never thought I'd ever share a connection to growing up...mostly because I am sure my young stupidiy and ignorance kept me from that...anyway, I just caught myself nodding off...so I am signing out....luv luv...hope I made sense...too tired to proof this...so to tie this up...just know I love ya!
