I've tried all the stuff about not taking it personally etc. etc. but I just can't. Of course it's a major character flaw & I would probably have followed my true passion & have conquered the world by now if I'd just been able to overcome it. Oh well, that's life. BTW the only -ve comment I've ever received over @ The Hedge was someone who was so bound up in such serious vitriolic political correctness that I pondered their sanity. What a miserable, dark, humourless life they must lead.<br />Millie xMilliehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15408461724832141163noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9043721957359281413.post-92043168474756676072011-01-31T22:29:36.841-05:002011-01-31T22:29:36.841-05:00Renee,

You'll be amazed at what you can learn by simply opening up to another point of view. Criticisms are like opinions everyone has one.<br /><br />BetteAnonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11115674582600945465noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9043721957359281413.post-13102477697716854182011-01-31T21:52:13.813-05:002011-01-31T21:52:13.813-05:00A little reverse psychology!

I also love Emerson's quote and keep it on my blog:<br /> <br />"There are always difficulties arising which tempt you to believe that your critics are right. To map out a course of action and follow it to an end requires courage." ~ Ralph Waldo EmersonTSL https://www.blogger.com/profile/07497254205408895928noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9043721957359281413.post-50823606003411749962011-01-31T10:56:52.766-05:002011-01-31T10:56:52.766-05:00I totally agree with this, Renee!

Her employer said "No thanks - it doesn't fit our decor". Which I found ironic, since, as far as I coud see, there was no "decor" saving a few fake, sorry looking plants and some pathetic old chairs and tables. I felt discouraged and insulted. Sometimes the people who want to squash you are just spurring you on to better things. xoannechoviehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04058312210924851934noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9043721957359281413.post-41980626506693342712011-01-31T10:02:21.710-05:002011-01-31T10:02:21.710-05:00oh heck, who am I kidding??!!!
