I'm going to try thinking of it in these terms and filling buckets myself, too.<br /><br />It's too early for any dips to have been taken out of my bucket yet today. The most recurrent one I get, though, is when eating at a restaurant (with Li'l D) with too much gusto. Waifs near me will say things like, "I guess they can't <i>all</i> be thin like us."<br /><br />Perhaps there are other things not-them people would prefer to be first. :)Debhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06036505968642985025noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8800349181270762056.post-64461498750935714892012-03-10T00:01:59.877-06:002012-03-10T00:01:59.877-06:00:) This is an awesome post and totally agree with ...:) This is an awesome post and totally agree with it!!<br /><br />My "Bucket" Was filled today when I was on the bus with my friend and our two boys. My son dropped his blanket on the ground and he threw a fit when I picked it up. I was telling my son to say please and ask nicely for his blankie back before I would give it to him. <br /><br />I was also explaining to my friend that he always says his manners all the time at home and I will keep at it til he is polite and uses his manners. As the bus stops I go down to his level and start talking to him to say please, when a random lady who was sitting near my friend came over and touched my shoulder. While doing so she said "Keep up the good work with him and his manners and he will turn out just fine, You are doing a great job!" & Hopped off the bus.<br /><br />Seriously I have major self-esteem issues about my parenting and that lady took two minutes out of her day to stop and compliment my parenting styles was the nicest thing I have ever seen! She will never know how much better she had made my day just by saying those few words!!<br /><br />THanks for the wonderful read and great inspirational idea!!<br /><br />:) Bethy "Betty Boop"~*~Bethy-Boop~*~https://www.blogger.com/profile/04339839804519597412noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8800349181270762056.post-43281328001519344692012-03-10T00:00:20.625-06:002012-03-10T00:00:20.625-06:00This comment has been removed by the author.~*~Bethy-Boop~*~https://www.blogger.com/profile/04339839804519597412noreply@blogger.com
