Nails 2
I didn't realise our son had chosen to wear flip-flops to Church this morning - with his half polished nails on full display! I'm a little bit sensitive about it because in this country boys can be forced into a "bukla" (transsexual) lifestyle from a very young age, so I was a little concerned about what Filipinos might be thinking when they saw his nails. But then I realised - MIGHT - be thinking. How often do we make choices based on what people MIGHT be thinking? Most of the time no-one cares about thinking about us, we think ourselves so much more important to others than we are! And he's my son and I know him and I love him as he is - even with nail polish on his feet.

What we fear often never happens.
My calendar says, "He who angers you conquers you."
We do so often fear what others think and they really have too many problems worrying about what you think about them! The mind is a funny thing which need sto be a t peace not finding the next thing it can worry about.
