    I remind myself of this for not only myself, but in regards to events with others. Thank you for linking up with Nurturing Thursday! 😀

    If we do our best . . . how can we second guess the best we did. 😀

    That sounds like it could be a Dr. Seuss quote! ….maybe Sam I Am?
    Or maybe….How much wood would a woodchuck chuck?
    No second guessing needed…thank goodness!

      You might enjoy this Dr. Seuss poem:

      Today you are you!
      That is truer than true!
      There is no one alive
      Who is you-er than you!

      Shout loud . . .
      “I am lucky to be what I am!
      Thank goodness I’m not just a clam or a ham
      Or a dusty old jar of sour gooseberry jam!

      I am what I am!
      That’s a great thing to be!
      If I say so myself,
      HAPPY BIRTHDAY TO ME!”

    Good to remember this. I find that because of the choices I made at certain cycles of my life when I didn’t know better, I tend not to judge the choices of others. We are all indeed doing the best that we can.

    Aren’t our own life experiences powerful teachers for us? And, as you write, they can also open us to understanding and acceptance with others too.
