If you want a
long-term relationship that doesn't require a lot of work, I say, get a dog.
They love you no matter what. But when it comes to humans, there's no secret;
you really have to appreciate the person every single day. [Denis Leary]
While it isn’t the easiest thing to make the time to
appreciate, I have discovered if I DO take that time, it gives my time more juice, if that makes
sense. People are very forgetful and their thinking doesn’t ever stay in that “happy
zone.” I have yet to meet anyone who does NOT think everything is about them,
especially anything that goes haywire or that they canNOT understand.
We don't need a
melting pot in this country, folks. We need a salad bowl. In a salad bowl, you
put in the different things. You want the vegetables - the lettuce, the
cucumbers, the onions, the green peppers - to maintain their identity. You
appreciate differences. [Jane Elliot]
I love this. It is simple. A direct hit. And it makes me
laugh. What astonishes me is realising that I have ALWAYS wanted to Change
[although I call it “improving”] someone else instead of simply appreciating
their differences.
…there isn't anyone
who doesn't appreciate kindness and compassion. [Dalai
Lama]
This makes things much simpler.
I love you, Currie

Yes, it took me a long time to realize that if we were all the same it would be a dull, dull world--no matter how nice everybody might be--LOL! ;)
