Comments on: I Joined a Board Today and Didn’t Over-Commit Myself https://thoughtsfromparis.com/thoughts/i-joined-a-board-today-and-didnt-overcommit-myself/ Humor blogger D.J. Paris writes about the most interesting subject in the world - himself. It's worth a look if you're cool. And you are! Wed, 22 Jan 2014 14:08:11 +0000 hourly 1 https://wordpress.org/?v=6.8.3 By: Karen https://thoughtsfromparis.com/thoughts/i-joined-a-board-today-and-didnt-overcommit-myself/#comment-24886 Wed, 22 Jan 2014 14:08:11 +0000 https://thoughtsfromparis.com/?p=4871#comment-24886 Were you the only one cleaning the villiage? Also, looks like you missed a few trees a storage shed.
Btw, you shouldn’t feel insecure about your accomplishments, you are very philanthropic and I’m sure you’ll have a hundred babies by the end of the day.

Yes, but my inner dialogue also says, “Well at least you’re blonde which makes you better than everyone.” Does yours do that, too?

I want that organization to be my blog – it’s a charity-case in itself. What are the secrets to your success? How, in the heck, did you get 40k Twitter followers? I know you’re good, just wondering if there’s stuff besides that, that I can do.

And I used to be the worst at over-committing. Awful. Now I do nothing. Thank goodness I have the excuse of staying at home with my kids. But sometimes, I think I overuse that excuse. But right now, I’m not feeling any guilt over it, so I think I’m ok.

Don’t feel insecure, Sweetie. I’m sure I’m not the only one, but your silly, funny and hopefully truthful ramblings have been making my day. I’m severely depressed and humor is my lifeline and your blogs truly help.

You SHOULD be proud of yourself because, as you noted, most people don’t do squat. At least you are doing something and that, in itself is something to be proud of. Kudos to you for giving a damn……….about the people you are helping, even if one of them is yourself.

When I used to do more (and by “more”, I mean “any”) volunteer work, I realized that some of the more important people are the ones who are doing the small things. You should brag.

Need me to bring a camera? ‘Cause we need to document the Paris “do” accentuated by a hairnet. You’re a good egg, DJ. That’s an excellent thing to do. Always remember the wise words of a woman from yesteryear…”You’re soaking in it.”

They don’t give a rip for your ideas. They have their own. They were probably so excited that you were willing to wash pots and pans that they wet themselves.

(I have a pic of myself cleaning up tornado crap that is very similar to yours. Except I was wearing a pink cowboy hat. Don’t ask me why.)
