I guess you had a good sleep last night. That’s a blessing. Also I guess the weather is getting cooler in your city. So you must have had more positives in your life today. Just count it and you will be happier and look more beautiful. @shellys12

In some cultures, a sweaty head is looked upon as a sign of that persons integrity and humility and everybody dances around the person like they are a God.

Well, if that’s true, I doubt my head would ever sweat when surrounded by a bunch of loud, out of control kids. Don’t test me on it. I definitely have a breaking point.

I love Anne Lamott, but I had forgotten all about her! I just went to look her up and see what she’s written since the last time I read her, around 2012. It looks like a few things. I think I’ll go to the library tomorrow and see what they’ve got. Thanks for the inspiration!

@anon1517417, I’m reading “Small Victories” which was written in 2015. Some of it is repeating what she already wrote but it is still well worth reading.
