I once had a button that said, be different, act normal". I loved it. I don't really know why, I just did. I think it is wise counsel despite it's rather carefree wording. The norms of today are a little frightening in their quick assimilation of superficial confidence. It can be hard to stand aside from what is popular, whether it is on a small scale or large. To be ourselves truly and kindly can be a frightening thing. So go ahead...as Mrs. Frizzle would say- "take chances, make mistakes", but always be yourself...because that is something that will never be common....it is our uniqueness that makes the world a wonderful place to live.
Amen Sister!
