Do I look fat? …

 

Why do we do this to ourselves?  A bazillion people can pay us a compliment and one insignificant boor can make an insensitive jab and what will our psyche ruminate over all day long?  You betcha.

So-for this week, I’m going to suggest that everyone inflate their egos and tell themselves that they are the best thing since sliced bread.  One hundred percent whole wheat sliced bread…let’s go with the good carbs, shall we?

And what if you really do do something stupid?  Well…then cut yourself some slack.  Tell yourself that nobody’s perfect but hell, you’re as close as they come.
