Do It Anyway

It sounds kinda cheesy but one of the most important goals in my life is for me to be a good person.  That is not always easy, especially when you work with the public like I do!  Sometimes it takes quite a bit of extra effort to be patient and understanding, and I will be the first to admit that I do not always succeed.  It is something that I believe takes a life long conscience effort.  It is so easy to be irritated by people and to judge.  But, when I do succeed and don't judge and I stay positive, the bonus is that I feel better too.  I know that I might sound like a total dork, but, well, this is me. This poem was on Beckers Blog yesterday, I liked it, so I snagged it and put it here.  It is a poem by Kent Keith that Mother Teresa loved.  It helps me to remember my goal.  It's a good one. The poem and the goal.

    Do It Anyway

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 true enemies; Succeed anyway.

If you are honest and frank, people may cheat you; Be honest and frank anyway.

What you spend years building, some could destroy overnight; Build anyway.

If you find serenity and happiness, they may be jealous; Be happy anyway.

The good you do today, people will often forget tomorrow; Do good anyway.

Give the world the best you have, and it may never be enough; Give the world the best you've got anyway.

You see, in the final analysis, it is between you and God; It was never between you and them anyway.

Me, through the years?

I came across this on another photographers blog.  It's called www.yearbookyourself.com.  I have to say it is way too fun!  For some reason I couldn't save the pics through their site, but you are supposed to be able to, maybe it doesn't work on Mac's.  Anyway, I became so obsessed with it I took a screen shot of a lot of them.  There were some where my face just didn't fit in, but I didn't leave many out.  One thing that I suprised me while doing this is that I think I like myself with short hair better. I love 1958, it totally reminds me of Patsy Cline.  1974 is the year I was born and scarily enough I think that is exactly what my mom's hair looked like when she gave birth to me!  My other favorite is 1976.  How fun is that hair!  Do you think I could get away with that hair now?  I love it!  The scariest thing is that 1984-1994, I think I've had some form of all those haircuts (not that they're much different from eachother) and they are by far the worst hair in the last 50 years!  Ok 1980 is pretty scary too!  1998 is just...wrong!  And 2000 was only 8 years ago and I don't remember anyone having that hair!  Do you?

So here it is, a whole lotta me!
