well, that's good!! i'm happy to look my age too:)

i wish everyone could be HAPPY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

That's a beautiful sentiment, sweety. :-)

How about we each start with ourselves?

If we can make that work, the job's already done.

ya ok! i'm not sure if it'll work for me though.

Something will, baby. I'm sure of it.

It's the strength to keep going until then, that's hard.

it's really hard....especially if ya have no patience like me..!

i'm feeling happier now i think..

how are you feeling?

I'm ... sort of "both". It's been a weird day.

Sometimes I think I could be "there", all I have to do is take one more step.

Other times I feel like I'll never get there.

See my blog for more words. ;-)

oh...i'm sorry..

will this work?

Well, it did "make me" smile. :-)

And so did the thought behind it. You're sweet.

no...

[you're sweeter:)!]

Heh. I was never very competitive. You win.

there are no winners!!!

There's nothing but winners!!!

winners are stupid.

why is everything so competitive?

Competition doesn't have to be war. Sometimes it pushes us to be the best we can be.

It can certainly be taken too far, though. I grew up with a younger brother who was bigger than I was, from before I can remember. So we competed quite a bit, and I didn't always play fair, being smaller. It was very difficult, sometimes. He was gentler and calmer than I was, but then, he could afford to be, being bigger. So I often tried to hurt him, or have some effect on him. And he certainly could get angry, I just had to be extra-mean to him.

We outgrew it, mostly, and towards others, there's no one I'd rather have at my back. But there are still some painful spots.

Life is full of challenges. You can't get mad at the challenges, you just have to do the best you can with them.

i think it's different for each person..

competition does nothing good for me. it intimidates me.. that's part of why i hate college so much i think.

when daddy was small his younger brother hit him over the head with a hammer when he was sleeping:) dunno why that just popped into my head!

You're probably right. It can be fun debating why it's different. :-)

Is your daddy's skull lopsided, now? :-)

I have to go now, little one. Take care until tomorrow, okay?

yeah it's nearly as fun as debating whether vegetables have feelings or not:)!!!

i've never really noticed if it's lopsided.. but it probably is! he was unconscious for a while after i think!

bye malign, i hope we can all be HAPPY:)!!!!

we're watching the lion king in college tomorrow:)
