HELEN REDDY LYRICS2"Best Friend"
Would you take better care of yourselfWould you be kinder to yourselfWould you be more forgiving of your human imperfectionsIf you realized your best friend was yourself
Who is always with you everywhereWho is on your side when others are unfairAnd tell me, who will never let you down in any situationWho will always see you get your share
(continued)
HELEN REDDY LYRICS2"Best Friend”
And that's why I am a best friend to myselfAnd I take me out whenever I feel lowAnd I make my life as happy as a best friend wouldI'm as nice to me as anyone I know
And that's why I am a best friend to myselfAnd I take me out whenever I feel lowAnd I make my life as happy as a best friend wouldI'm as nice to me as anyone I know
Dear Me:
With the idea of being our own best friend in mind, write a thank you letter to yourself. Start the letter by saying “Dear (your own name):
-Express praise for positive traits you see
-Express thanks for …..
-Express what you admire about you
-Express empathy for a hardship you went through
-Express encouragement for future success!
