Thursday

We all have good days and bad days--days when we say and do things we regret, and days when we say and do good things. If the balance of your life is kindness and loving actions--that's what is important. Do your best to make amends if you feel you've hurt someone, and try to do better each day. No one is perfect. Then forgive yourself, 3Hotdogs. It's often the hardest thing to do.
