Talking to myself

So, I've now gone to the fitness center 5 days in a row!  I intend to make it a regular Mon-Fri habit.  I have time to ponder as I sweat so I thought I'd share some ponderings, or in my case, ruminations:

* Having control over myself is almost as good as having control over others.

*  I am grateful that I am not as judgmental as all those censorious, self-righteous people around me.

*  I need not suffer in silence while I can still moan, whimper and complain.

* The first step is to say nice things about myself. The second, to do nice things for myself. The third, to find someone to buy me nice things.

* Becoming aware of my character defects leads me naturally to the next step of blaming my parents.

* Before I criticize a man, I walk a mile in his shoes. That way, if he gets angry, he's a mile away and barefoot.
