FINALLY! Gee shell, I almost deleted your blog in my bookmarks....
Very wise words and it's really true. Miserable people want to feel better about themselves, and the way to do that is to cut others down. I think it can also be said that small minds invite that conversation. They create a safe environment and give these people more power to do their damage. How many times do I wish I would have stood up and defended someone when I just sat by and said nothing? It makes me feel ashamed of myself, but at least I feel the shame. That gives me hope.
Awesome comment Crys. I absolutely agree with you. Unfortunately I would have to say that there have been time when my mind was simple. I am striving to be the mind that has ideas!
P.S. I knew Crys would know whose quote that was...lol...she beat Anne Shirley to it!
Definitely blog worthy and a good reminder for us all. My interpretation of that quote is "secure" or "insecure" mind. Unfortunately my mind is too often on the "insecure" side but I AM working on it.

(Your quote comes from Eleanor Roosevelt.)
Glad you're back!
