How funny, I just read that Bette Midler quote and thought, no wonder I like her so much.
I like her, too. From what I have read in interviews she was not a happy child. Guess being strong and determined helps the happiness quotient as we grow up.
Great quote!
Like most of us Bette figured this out after the worst was over.
I’m thinking that most of us feel different in some way. Wouldn’t life be boring if we were all the same.
Bongo, you are so smart…yes, life would be a nasty bore if we were all the same.
Why do humans try so hard to be just like each other anyway?
Rumpydog, sometimes humans just don’t have the sense dogs (and cats) do.
Yes – we should celebrate the differences. Growing up we had one really gawky, awkward girl in our class. She didn’t fit in and apparently didn’t want to.
She is now a published novelist – guess going into herself as she obviously did during school days really helped her.
And I love Bette Middler and her comment “Give a girl the correct footwear and she can conquer the world”
I think we all have known kids that were sort of shunned because they were different. I was very different! And at times it was horrendous. Today I like my “uniqueness” and encourage others to be at home in theirs. Ah, the blessings that come with age.
Amen!
And again, Amen!
Yup! She’s got that right.
Dontcha know it!
So true! We need to tell young people this. . .if they will listen and believe us. 🙂 Thanks Patricia, for sharing what you are thinking today!
Well, I didn’t listen when older people tried to tell me, so I doubt many young people will listen today. That is just part of growing up, I think…
