Fit in by Standing out.........
Too short, too tall, flower against a wall,
The last one chosen to play,
Too smart, too dumb, too strange a place to be from,
same shoes everyday.
With all the ways to be different,
then maybe that's how you fit in,
by standing out in a crowd.
sang by Trisha Yeargood
Why be afraid,
perhaps it's your gift,
color,
strange slang,
eclectic ways,
Why be plain
or green to blend in,
wear your color,
don't cover it up,
hold your head tall,
proud to be.
Our gifts are different in all kinds of ways,
all meant for a purpose,
to make the world rhyme,
so
go ahead and do it,
don't be afraid,
stand tall and have some courage,
go ahead,
color the world
it's your way to fit in.
Stand Tall.
For the longest time, I tried and tried to blend in,
wear my plain green color,
hide under someone's leaf,
Today I am quite different,
in my feathery kind of way,
I spike it up,
spread it out,
color asplash,
I am kinda different,
in all kinds of ways,
don't need to be covered,
or bothered,
I am who I am,
standing tall among the weeds,
I fit in
by standing out.
So begin your week with gladness
and
put your color on,
Today is your day,
to
fit in by standing out!!!!!
Happy Monday.
Hugs and Blessings.
"be a good day"

Good Monday Morning....just to say a few words, always loved this quote....hope you do too..
“Be who you are and say what you feel because those who mind don't matter and those who matter don't mind.” - Dr. Seuss

This afternoon I had a long conversation with my best buddy, bemoaning the reality that within one more area I have hit the wall. I was part of a Leadership Team for the presbytery. Most of the attraction was working with the particular group of individuals. They are using Blanchard's work Lead Like Jesus. While I enjoyed his book, I argued that offering something in a One Day Encounter wasn't' transforming... I was wanting something where people spent time and asked hard questions of themselves AND then others. I resigned from the team yesterday for many reasons (BPC, my parents, my daughters, my own health...) which I shared in my email to the team. This afternoon I received a backlash from one woman... I was surprised, sad, confused, angry... : ) My buddy once again told me to find other places to hang out. : ) Just because something makes so much sense to me and/or seems so important...it is difficult for me to understand that others don't even faintly hear that same drumbeat. Oh well...As Kermit says, "It isn't easy be green..." : )
Sandi..you got that one write...
