strengths and weaknesses

My illness has left me at a loss in a lot of ways


I do have many assets that I try to focus on...


I know my weaknesses but I try and put forth the strongest


parts of the strongish parts of me...to build my life..


There will always be someone who is stronger


There is always someone who will have more talents


But for me, I am realizing that at least it's important to 


hold fast to the hopeful thought and idea that I have something


to offer, if but in the quiet package that is 'moi' :) hehe.


I'd like to think that I am special, but I think I need to focus


on keep on, keeping on. Keep doing the things I do well, and 


try to improve in the areas that could use a little help -

Dunno, little fishy. I'm quoting Albert Einstein again. "Everything in life has its genius but if you judge a fish on its ability to fly, it will spend its life believing it is stupid." To my warped brain, comparing strengths and talents is rather like comparing fish to birds. It diminishes both sets of natural gifts without ever achieving functional accuracy.

Wishing you the self-love, self-compassion and self-respect we all deserve, whatever our species.
