Have I Said Everything I Need To Say?

On the wall, in the green room at my playhouse, hangs a poster with the following uncredited quotation:

“People are often unreasonable, irrational, and self-centered. Forgive them anyway.

If you are kind, people may accuse you of selfish, ulterior motives. Be kind anyway.

If you are successful, you will win some unfaithful friends and some genuine enemies. Succeed anyway.

If you are honest and sincere people may deceive you. Be honest and sincere anyway.

What you spend years creating, others could destroy overnight. Create anyway.

If you find serenity and happiness, some may be jealous. Be happy anyway.

The good you do today, will often be forgotten. Do good anyway.

Give the best you have, and it will never be enough. Give your best anyway."

(it's by Mother Teresa and actually, has one more line: "You see, in the final analysis, it is between you and God; It was never between you and them anyway.")



I have a LOT of time to sit back and reflect. Just waiting for my one little scene in each act (there are no small parts, as they say). And I read this poster all most every night and it always touches me and I wanted to share it with you.

But you know what?

I already did.

Just one more example of how I have already shared everything I can on the topics I am allowed. And just so you know? I still have so much to say.

Sunrise in T minus 11 minutes.

Have a beautiful and amazing, full and happy day.

All my love,

Mrs. B

P.S. I am so bringing my camera to the play tonight! Stop back tomorrow for real live pictures of me in costume! And please come to my show. Again with a new friend, if need be.
