I will work hard to remove myself as a victim, whether that means setting and enforcing a boundary, walking away, dealing with my feelings, or giving myself what I need. (Melody Beattie, The Language of Letting Go, 26 July)

There is nothing you can say in answer to a compliment. I have been complimented myself a great many times, and they always embarrass me - I always feel that they have not said enough. (Mark Twain, in Touchstones, 15 July)

The people who come into our lives are a reflection of who we are. They reveal to us those things we cannot [see] or refuse to see about ourselves. (Iyanla Vanzant, Acts of Faith, 7 August)

As rules go, "You should behave as other people behave" is among the most dangerous; it almost always results in your behaving badly. (Jean de la Bruyere in A Calendar of Wisdom by Leo Tolstoy, 7 April)

I didn't watch the first episode of season eight of Mr. Monk on Friday night. I taped the show as the last show on a marathon tape I recorded earlier in the day. On Saturday night I used the Verizon Video on Demand (VOD) to watch the show on the TV in the basement. This works better because they leave out thirteen minutes of commercials.
