Simply Yourself

When you are content to be simply
yourself and don’t compare or compete,
everyone will respect you.

I love it, but one needs to qualify what being yourself means. I have found that only selected audiences are able for me, being myself. I am a little too much at times, my self, and I can promise that it is not always respect one gets in return. The art is in being a little dangerous and only a little extrovert and very serious that brings out respect. I think it’s fear, not respect. But I am 71 and no longer care if I am too affectionate or loud or silent or trying to blend into the decorative ferns in the corner so no one will notice I am actually there. It depends on so many factors which me will emerge. Love you, Eddie. As you were.

  At your age, you must have some answers to your many questions by now.
  Some work, some do not. Use the ones that work. Avoid the ones that don’t.
  Thank you for your kind response dear heart, Eddie

        Eddie I am not sure what you are asking. I have a blog on WordPress and I don’t know Patricia Jackson.

        When looking for your blog, what I find
