Do not wish to be anything but what you are, and to be that perfectly...
St Francis de Sales

What a beautiful quote for today.  And this I strive to live by.  Often I, like most people, get nervous, self conscious, unsure of myself... but in my head I play a loop - well worn and familiar by now - of reassuring words , telling myself that really, people must like me for just who I am if they are to like me at all - and since I like who I am, it stands to reason that any person of value to me will like me too :-)
