    Always remember others may hate you, but those who hate you don't win unless you hate them. And then you destroy yourself."

    Thank you! I teach public school too! What grade(s) do you teach?

    Thanks for the article. Another forum I am a member of... we have a 'Celebrate Me' Day each month. It is on your birthday day. My birthday is January 8th, so each month on the 8th I am to do something just for me! I think it's a wonderful idea.

    This comes at a good time for me.
    i've been feeling pretty depressed despite the sunshine... and I wa feeling there wasn't any 'me' time.
    always have to do something for someone else.
    It's getting me down.
