LIKE AN ELEPHANT
I had a friend email me tonight, concerned that something she'd done might have offended me. That was so nice of her to do that though I had to tell her that, honestly, I had not even thought twice about it.

I have always been blessed to have pretty thick skin I guess. Don't get me wrong, there are times when I can be really worn out that my skins starts to thin out a bit but, generally, I just don't get offended by things other people may say to me.

I am not sure what it is that makes me that way ... and I hope that this doesn't sound braggadocio because it most certainly is not intended that way ... but there is something incredibly freeing and empowering in not really being bothered by what others may say to me.

I do worry a lot about what others think of me but the things they may say to me ... even things that may seem very personal and directed at me ... they just sort of roll off my back.

So, everyone ... no need to apologize or worry you might have offended me ... chances are I never gave it a second thought!
