Hi there :)
This is Doug.
Let me tell you about him.
He gets made fun of, yet he still maintains a slobbery grin.
He is labeled as the dog who can't do anything right, yet he saves "the small mail man and the one who smells of prunes." and kevin, of course.
He is just a little bit on the weird end, but he still does his best to make friends.
He loves everyone he meets, but hardly ever recieves the same affection in return.
And he is super sweet but gets told all the time that he's not good at anything and deserves to live his life in "The Cone of Shame."
. . . . . .
You ever felt a little like Doug?
:)
Chances are the answer is yes.
Chances are that sooner or later someone is going to do something to make you feel sad. You may even be labeled as the who deserves "the cone of shame."
Perhaps you can't run as fast as the others, or perhaps you aren't nearly as smart as that boy in the corner. Maybe you don't feel as beautiful as the girl who sits next to you, or you aren't as liked as that popular crowd of people who sit in the same spot every lunchtime.
My friends, I learned a lesson from Doug.
Doug loves unconditionally. If he doesn't love them permanently, he will love them temporarily. But he still loves them. And whoever "them" might be, I have learned that in the end, it doesn't really matter if you are as smart or pretty or intelligent or popular as they are. In the end, all that matters is that you are the best you can be. And you try to be that perfectly.
Do the best you can do and don't quit.
"Be who you are and say what you want because those who matter don't mind and those who mind don't matter." Doctor Seuss.
And I've learned something else. In all our adventures through life, we would do well to remember that it's nice to be important, but it's more important to be nice.
Everyone deserves an Ellie Badge.
:)
THIRTY FIVE DAYS UNTIL CHRISTMAS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Love, Sunny
