Of course, we can't live our lives perfectly and lovingly--we are mere mortals--but oh, what a lovely thought. If I can stop and think before judging a person negatively, or vice versa, then this quote has made that moment just a little more positive. I'm getting so tired of all the negativity out there today. It's making me old. I don't need that, doing just fine on my own, thank you very much! Great, thought-provoking piece, Annie!!!Rosahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12032001920106167026noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-24228581.post-23821823211470909602012-08-17T12:53:17.846-07:002012-08-17T12:53:17.846-07:00I like Pinterest and had many beautiful boards at ...I like Pinterest and had many beautiful boards at one time.
