We are what we pretend to be, so we must be careful about what we pretend to be.

I find sometimes it’s easy to be myself
Sometimes I find it’s better to be somebody else

Hi,
Well you would certainly have to agree with those statements, spot on. 🙂
I’m glad you agree, Mags! 🙂 There are so many possible selves…
This wonderful post made me think of a humorous quote by Lily Tomlin. She said,
“All my life, I always wanted to be somebody. Now I see that I should have been more specific.”
LOL – Lily Tomlin is hilarious! I loved her in the philosophical comedy movie, “I ♥ Huckabees.” 🙂
Hi Barbara. I’m glad to be at your new site. It has the charm of the former site and some new organization I like. I also like the very penetrating gaze of the young man in the portrait. Jane
Thank you, Jane! Now if Nate can just the email subscription working we’ll really be organized! 🙂
Found you. 🙂
Hurray!!! 🙂 Wondering why your gravatar isn’t displaying…
It’s wonderful to be able to re-invent yourself.
Every day is a new day.
Endless fresh starts.
Thank you, Sybil. It’s been up and down, frustrating and exhilarating – it’s a good thing we’re given so many fresh starts! 🙂
Wonderful words of wisdom here. Congrats on your new site!
Thank you, Tracy! 🙂
Wise words from Kurt. Or cognitive therapy?
Some kind of therapy – those words changed my life! 🙂
We all think it’s everyone else who’s pretending. Recognizing our own pretense is much harder.
I like your blog.
Thanks, Charles! I like your blog, too. I used to teach my kids that everybody is hypocritical about something or other, it’s just that some of us are aware of this and willing to admit it.
