that my Momma shared
is something that I have shared
with my own kids
and a plethora of people:
Be nice ...
until it's time to not be nice.
That doesn't mean
that you are rude or ugly
or belittling or demeaning.
It simply means that you
will no longer allow yourself
to be used as a doormat,
to be lessened,
to be trivialized,
to be marginalized.
You speak your mind and/or
(a favorite from my Grandfather)
you point your shoes in another direction.
There is NEVER a circumstance
in which you should let another human
disrespect or diminish you.
