It was all fun and games until my vacation ended yesterday. I punctuated a wonderful 11 days of rest and relaxation with the proverbial cubicle scream once I downloaded all my backed up unread e-mail. After my download finally completed, my morning was pretty much set in stone with the dubious task of wading through over 360 unread messages.
One of my e-mails contained a newsletter from an organisation I belong to at work. Within the newsletter I found the following quote by Dr. Seuss:
Be who you are and say what you feel,
Because those who mind don't matter
And those who matter don't mind
I love the quote because it is a lesson in truly being yourself. I also love it for the beauty of its simplicity. Actually living by the words is much more complex.
I'm not exactly sure what to do with the quote in terms of applying it to my own life, but I know I happened upon it for a reason. What I decide to do with it is yet to come.

Lori,
That is a profound statement indeed. Another one I recently came across and love is:
"No one can intimidate me without my permission". Eleanor Roosevelt
