I'm Weird!!

I love Scott Noelle's daily column (especially today's!!):

THE DAILY GROOVE ~ by Scott Noelle

Weird Is Good! ::Our culture is full of contradictions. For example, it's good to be unique and original, but it's not good to go too far off the beaten path... "Don't be *weird*!"

But aren't uniqueness and originality weird bydefinition? So let's settle this once and for all: It's *good* to be weird! In fact, the words *weird* and *worthy* have the same root. (Really!)

If you subscribe to "The Daily Groove," you're probably a weird parent. You don't *do* conventional parenting, and you probably get strange looks from parents who do. If you think they think you're weird, it's because they do! But only because YOU ARE! :-)

So get a piece of paper and write "Weird Things I Do" along the top, then make a list... a LONG list. When you're done, cross out "Weird Things I Do" and change it to "Things I Appreciate About Myself!" Now, whenever someone points out your weirdness, you can proudly agree and accept the compliment: "Thanks!" :-)
