“The more you like yourself, the less you are like anyone else, which makes you unique.”   —   Walt Disney

(I like this quote!  And, I think there is a lot of truth to it.  I know to some it may sound like psycho-babble, but it’s been said that to truly love others you must first learn to love yourself.  It’s not always easy to like yourself.  So many people have feelings of inadequacy.  Sometimes it’s hard to really put your finger on it, but generally, like so many other things, it’s a form of learned behavior.  Similar to the Jim Valvano quote from a couple of days ago.  If you’re already there . . . fantastic!  If not, then work on liking yourself.  If that is really hard for you then don’t be afraid to ask for some kind of professional help.  Be well and do good, friends.)   —   YUR

Answer:  ABSENT–MINDED

(Starting the week off with a twelve letter answer!  Pretty impressive.  None of the clue words were new today, but they were all jumbled well.  Some of the jumblings seem to be knew to me.  The answer letter layout was superbly jumbled.  It did not give any of the answer away.  Because of the way the clue/question was set up, I figured it was going to end in ED, which was my big clue in getting the answer.  Cute cartoon.  Kind of hits close to home, although my boy is no longer a teen.  He still has that teen/college/frat boy mentality.  They say males mature more slowly.  If so, there goes your proof!  He IS making some progress though!  Be well and do good, friends.)   —   YUR
