You Tell on Yourself

You tell on yourself by the friends you seek,
By the very manner in which you speak,
By the way you employ your leisure time,
By the use you make of dollar and dime.
You tell what you are by the things you wear,
By the spirit in which you burdens bear,
By the kind of things at which you laugh,
By the records you play on the phonograph.
You tell what you are by the way you walk,
By the things of which you delight to talk,
By the manner in which you bear defeat,
By so simple a thing as how you eat.
By the books you choose from the well-filled shelf:
In these ways and more, you tell on yourself.

Hey Sylvia! I have just been doing so many other things, blogging kind of took a backseat for a while, but I am going to try to keep doing it at least once a week.

Thanks for your help with Melaleuca; I enjoyed the products, we just found that we didn't need to spend that much every month. I have been making my own cleaning products, and I love it! Baking soda and vinegar... who knew they could be used for SO much??

Thanks for posting here, it's nice to see that my blog has fans. ;-)
