 Mother Teresa's prayer
People are often unreasonable, illogical, and self-centered;
... Forgive them anyway.
If you are kind, people may accuse you of selfish, ulterior motives;
... Be kind anyway.
If you are successful, you will win some false friends and some true enemies;
... Succeed anyway.
If you are honest and frank, people may cheat you;
... Be honest and frank anyway.
What you spend years building, someone could destroy overnight;
... Build anyway.
If you find serenity and happiness, they may be jealous;
... Be happy anyway.

I get a lot of sentimental and religious email that people think I should pass on to my 10 best friends. This one is different. See what you think...
The Cab Ride
- Anonymous
I arrived at the address and honked the horn.
After waiting a few minutes
I walked to the
door and knocked.. 'Just a minute', answered a
frail, elderly voice. I could hear something
being dragged across the floor.
After

on it, like somebody out of a 1940's
movie.

Never An Eye for an Eye - Matthew 5:38-39
38 Ye have heard that it hath been said, An eye for an eye, and a tooth for a tooth. 39 But I say unto you, That ye resist not evil: but whosoever shall smite thee on thy right cheek, turn to him the other also.

I like who I am and how I live my life. There, I said it.
But, this is a blog about parenting, right? So why am I diggin' on myself in my opening line? Well, I believe that you must like yourself AND how you live your life in order to be an effective parent. Dislike for yourself simply doesn't belong at the parenting table.
You'll need to get a handle on that if you want to try on any of my advice. Get to a good place, mentally.
Ok, opinion #1...
