Profoundly humbled

I dithered about posting this.
Frommamapduck , about me: "My world is improved by your frequent reminders that it's just not all about what most people think it's all about. That it's about being good, not being popular. That books are better than movies. That my brain is more important to my inherent beauty than my face. That knowing stuff is important not only for what you can do with it, but just for the knowing itself."

My intial reaction was "Huh? What did I do? These are things she already knew."

Then I didn't want to post it because it felt vain and self serving. Who doesn't want to be liked? Who doesn't wish she was better looking? (Especially at my age?)

However, the whole point of the exercise was to remind people of how they affect one positively. So if you're reading this, ask me how you have affected my life in a positive way. Then post my answer in your journal.

Well, you were "that cool friend of Tanaka and Sofia's" for a long time. Thanks for reminding me that it's OK to leap off the diet bandwagon for the occasional slice of cheesecake. ;-D

And anyway, you need to remind your body every so often of what it's supposed to be doing by giving it something terribly terribly naughty ;)

Think if it as taking a break from handsewing - refreshes and rejuvenates!

Woo, verily hoo

I made The Mistress Of Evil blush! Life is good.
