Sticks and Stones!

I realized something many years ago! Not many people can hurt me!  Every time someone insults me either out right or under disguise It just doesn't hit the mark! My mother taught me something when I was a little girl (must have been the right time because i was listening! LOL) Sticks and stones may break my  bones but names can never hurt me!  She explained to me that the only way words can hurt me is if I let them!  So if you are not my family or close friend, it just rolls right off!  If you are my family or friend , well we tease each other all the time because we know we love each other and it's all in fun!

I like this .. worth thinking about again. We can hurt eachother in my family .. but even there .. its only if I let them ..my kids, that is. I dont think they mean it. They have come under the power of some therapists and probably are keeping the clinic going. I feel sorry for them at times because they could go on .. let go. But the therapists wont let them. This is 2 of my 4 kids. I believe and hope that time and life will help them. So .. even families need to hear what you wrote ;) HUGS!!!!
