The blind and the deaf

Two men, one blind and the other deaf, were involved in a heated argument one day. The blind man attacked the deaf with verbal abuses. The deaf did the same using sign languages. But neither was offended for the deaf didn’t hear the abuses and the blind didn’t see the offensive sign languages thrown at his face.

Bad criticisms affect us only if we allow ourselves to ‘see’ and ‘hear’ where they come from.

This entry really got me to thinking. I can tell that you have a real positive outlook on everything in your life, or I imagine that is so.

Also, I'd love to contribute some short stories to your magazine. :) It would be my pleasure and such a great oppurtunity for me.

On the comment about the prom dress. I honestly have no idea what happened to it, I imagine that my mother put it up in her attic somewhere or took it to a resale store. But those are guesses, I'll have to ask after it and find out.
