Once I got off the (un)merry go round of purging and "playing" ad nauseum, I came to to a level of self acceptance that was comforting.<br /><br />Great post. Once we stop beating ourselves up, optimism becomes much easier.<br /><br />SarahSarah Wilsonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13018597739320720216noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6270306578933066732.post-87658657394388742952011-01-17T14:42:12.513-05:002011-01-17T14:42:12.513-05:00Hi Halle,

Two stand out in my mind (there were amazingly many fine ones). Mr. Dressup (use your imagination, but not too much ladies), and The Friendly Giant, portrayed by a wonderful soft-spoken man; Bob Homme.

By all accounts, I'm a very fortunate person because compared with the bulk of humanity, my troubles are minor. So instead of looking for reasons to be sad or angry, I'll seek the opposite (and I won't always succeed, but I will try!).<br /><br />-https://www.blogger.com/profile/12678823555927806259noreply@blogger.com
