"He who fails to toot his own horn lives in a state of untootedness."
I use to work with a guy that said that all the time. Which I laughed every time even though after the first couple of times it just wasn't as funny anymore. I have been told if you laugh different every time you hear the same joke it is funnier. "Ha ha" one time and "Oh haha the next. Bend over and grab your gut laughing "ha ha". Ok you get the picture. It does have a lot of truth behind it though. Sometimes you just have to pat yourself on the back.
I don't know about you but I mess up, I mess up A LOT! I slip and fall A LOT! I say the wrong things A LOT! Why would I not give myself a high-five when I have done something good? Think about something good you did over the weekend and tell someone. Tell your spouse, your parents, heck post it on the Internet!
Things I did good this weekend? I made a woman feel beautiful by taking pictures of her for her husband. I made a 2 year old smile by taking her pictures, she gave me a big hug when we finished. Hopefully mended some old wounds I didn't know were open. I apologized to my oldest daughter for demanding her respect and realizing I didn't respect her. (Yeah felt like a dog on that one). I got caught up on the laundry!
It feels good to say those things. I am far from perfect. I let myself down I think more than others alot of the time. I need a pat on the back, even if it is from myself! Toot your horn. Tell the world what you did and smile...Until then
Keep Rockin
