  1. i don't have this poem memorized, but it is by far the one poem that really caught my attention and moved me. it is from Leo Buscaglia's book entitled Living, Loving and Learning. here's to Michelle...

     

     

    I Am Neither A Sacrilege Or A Privilege. I May Not Be Competent or Excellent, But I Am Present

     

    My happiness is me, not you.

    Not only because you may be temporary,

    But also because you want me to be what I am not.

    I cannot be happy when I change

    Merely to satisfy your selfishness.

    Nor can I feel content when you critize me for not

    thinking your thoughts,

    Or for seeing like you do.

    You call me a rebel.

    And yet each time I have rejected your beliefs

    You have rebelled against mine.

    I do not try to mold your mind.

    I know you are trying hard enough to be just you.

    And I cannot allow you to tell me what to be -

    For I am concentrating on being me.

    You said that I was transparent

    And easily forgotten.

    But why then did you try to use my lifetime,

    To prove to yourself who you are?

  2. know your allergens and avoid them at all costs.

    do cardio and breathing exercise - swimming would be the best.

    also, always be ready with anti-asthma medication in case of emergency. (i have an inhaler) :)

  3. my wallet gets fat only when i have a lot of money (which is always good, right?) :D or when i have a lot of receipts and papers.

    i guess the answer there would be to spend the money :lol: or to take out the trash. :)
