This is my new favorite quote. It is not a new quote. Quite the opposite, but I just saw it today.

People are often unreasonable and self centered
Forgive them anyway
If you are kind, people may accuse you of ulterior motives
Be kind anyway
If you are honest, people may cheat you
Be honest anyway
The good you do today may be forgotten tomorrow
Do good anyway
For you see, in the end, it is between you and God
It never was between you and them anyway.

Good quote. Just read your confession for the day. I bet you watched it on TBS. The unedited HBO show? Much dirtier. Without all the explicit stuff, it is pretty good.

BTW...I posted the explanation for "bone to pick with you" in the comment section of the "with a grain of salt" post. :)

My favorite part about your blog would have to be your side comments. Today I enjoyed the Sex and the City one because when they started showing it on TBS I got totally addicted. I love miss Carrie Bradshaw.

I have yet to read the host, but it is on my growing list of to reads.

Nothing happened with the blogs, I just felt like I should go private. A personal choice.

Ha ha, just kidding...I left the "bone to pick with you" explanation in the comments to your "The Only Whore In Here Is You" post. I'm seriously sleep-deprived.

I love this! I sounds familiar, I think Ive heard it before, but I needed to hear it again. Its so true!

Now I want to go to the library and get a book on Mother Teresa. I basically know nothing about her except that she was old and catholic. I would love to learn about her.

Oh, and I love Sex and the City. I was so excited when TBS started playing edited versions, so all my friends who didn't have HBO or who were more moral than me could start watching it. I'm so excited for the movie next week!

Mich probably hasn't called you bcause she's been super duper sick. But the moving thing hasn't helped! Unless of course you totally offended her. Just kidding.

Great quote. And I love Sex and the City. I have seen all the episodes and I am very excited for the movie. I love it because they write the women so well. You can always relate and it is really honest.

I love the quote. I feel bad we missed you. I was looking forward to some good girl talk! If you have time we could still come by. My life seems to always be in disarray so don't worry about that!

What a great quote! Is it bad if I say I'm excited for the movie to come out?

Autumn said...

I think I'll have to check out the sex and the city thing...didn't know it was on TBS! You're a real trend setter! :) Loved the quote! Thanks for sharing!

Jill said...

I also have to admit that I also like Sex in the City. I'm glad you do too.
