The grade was posted and read 100 points out of a 100.
Couldn’t do any better than that. So why did I continue to groan over the
should’ve done this, should’ve read that, and do I really understand what I
wrote? And if I hold such criticisms, when good is acknowledged or compliments
given, how much more do I hold judgment where perhaps I have not responded so
well?
Oh the distorted reflections. I smile, and a small giggle. Sweet mercy,
if we had learned self-love as deeply as we’ve learned self-doubt, what would
the news have to report? What would happen to all the self-help books,
addictions, abuse, and the oft sighed phrase, “if only”? I think I shall go and
buy packets of little gold stars. Maybe, with a giggle, leave with a tip, hand
to another, or even to sprinkle upon the sidewalks as I walk. No, they will
have to be BIG gold stars so I can write “REALLY!” upon each one.
