Even Better By Larry Chadwick Oh the burden of my humanity, Always dragging me down. Never willing to accept defeat, Or to give in to a frown. I Confess the truth for what it is, And acknowledge being average is okay. Released from the pressure of comparison, For the freedom of who I am today. I press on to achieve my goal, Of being the best God made me. Not letting habits get in my way, Determined to be the best that I can be. February 4, 2002 |

*giggling* after years of others telling me how I should be I am finally myself and I happen to like who I am...so that is life and that is how I live...not to please others but to please me and know I am doing things as I want to not as other think I should. I love it, Larry...well done. **big hugs**  Love I leave with you whether it is in your life now or yet the essense of your dreams. |
