I am so pleased that you found some satisfaction in my mention of it. And you will (I know) note that the only way to deal with it is to simply IGNORE IT. (There's lots of encouraging and enjoyable stuff to focus on as a distraction from life's "I just don't know"s.)John-Michaelhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12301981965656607401noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-25195308.post-16251323453576785102008-03-05T23:52:00.000-05:002008-03-05T23:52:00.000-05:00I had to come back and say one thing...As someone ...I had to come back and say one thing...<BR/>As someone with very low self-esteem - someone who always doubts herself... sometimes being able to "ignore the 'I just don't know!'" would be fabulous ;-)Misty DawnShttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15815037247940459349noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-25195308.post-43304085106557634852008-02-29T13:38:00.000-05:002008-02-29T13:38:00.000-05:00Darlin' Misty Dawn,You lift me up to a nicer place...Darlin' Misty Dawn,<BR/><BR/>You lift me up to a nicer place.
