One of Alyssa's Favorite books!

I posted this a few years ago on my Facebook page and thought that I would share it here!!! Everyone should like themselves!!!

Cleaning Alyssa's bookshelf...

So today I was cleaning and I was dusting off all of the books that were Alyssa's and I came across the one that we read when she lost her hair and I thought that I would share what it says with all of you!  Because I think that everyone should like themselves!!!!

The title of the book is " I like MYSELF!" By Karen Beaumont

The book goes like this...

I LIKE MYSELF!

 I'm glad I'm me. There's no one else I'd rather be.

I like my eyes, my ears, my nose. I like my fingers and my toes.

I like me wild. I like me tame. I like me different and the same

.
I like me fast. I like me slow. I like me everywhere I go.

I like me on the inside, too, for all I think and say and do.

Inside, outside, upside down, from head to toe and all around, I like it all! It all is me! And me is all I want to be.

And I don't care in anyway what someone else may think or say.

I may be called a silly nut or crazy cuckoo bird - so what? I'm having too much fun, you see, for anything to bother me!

Even when I look a mess, I still don't like me any less, 'cause nothing in this world, you know, can change what's deep inside, and so...

No matter if they stop and stare,

no person

ever

anywhere

can make me feel that what they see is all there really is to me.

I'd STILL like me with fleas or warts, or with a silly snout that snorts,

or knobby knees or hippo hips or purple polka-dotted lips,

or beaver breath or stinky toes or horns protruding from my nose,

or - yikes! - with spikes all down my spine, or hair that's like a porcupine.  I would be the same, you see...

I like myself because I'm ME!!!"

I hope you all enjoy it!!!!
