I’ve been “away” but now am back. So happy to be reading your posts again. So wise and true, and sometimes- like this one- hilarious. But always a gift to us all.
You know, I didn’t see it that way when I first posted it. But now that you point it out, I can see your point of view. It’s a rare moment that I can see and agree with two points of view on the same subject and “still function” – so, thank you for providing me with an inspiring moment at 4:37 am today.

Hmmm, not sure if I’m motivated or suddenly depressed…
I was leaning more to the second and it was pushing me to the first. How’s that for obfuscation.
Impressive!
Laughing..what Lori said.
Reblogged this on What I see, what I feel, what I'd like to see… and commented:
Heh, heh, heh…
Great inspiration.
Isn’t it though. How a few words can get into your psyche!
Choosing to see this as an exhortation…

Okay, I’m depressed now too…
I’m kidding David! (Sort of)
Laughing. How 4 simple short words topple all of us.
I WILL look better!
That’s the spirit!
David,

Hi Tom. Welcome back. I was wondering how long your sabbatical was going to run. Thanks for dropping by. Glad to have you back. Dave
I don’t know….That sign is kind of rude. It’s probably supposed to be inspiring, but it’s not working. Now I understand why some people do graffiti.

That proves that you’re brilliant, doesn’t it?
No. It proves that I had it right this one single time.
Like I need any reminders. Ass-hat (the sigh, not you, David).
Thanks for the laugh this morning Sandy Sue. I had never heard the expression (a**-hat). Had to look it up.
This is really lovely Bec!
Yes…inside & out. Truth hurts but it’s good.
Hmmmm….. sometimes (ehmm, most of the times) motivation quotes piss me off…..
I think that is the point.
