Along those lines--I was simply appalled a few months ago when I realized I'd misspelled a word in a "Thought for the Day" that I printed out and posted on my wall. The horror! Me, an ex-transcriptionist and spelling and grammar nazi, MISSPELLED A WORD! And even worse, DID NOT SEE IT FOR SEVERAL DAYS!!!!

OMG, what am I coming to, oh dear, oh my, surely the world will spin off its axis and the oceans will come sloshing out of their basins and drown the world b/c I spelled a word wrong, holy cows!!

I immediately printed out another one that was correct. But halfway between ripping the old one down and putting the new one up, the Universe whispered in my ear "leave it just like it is--it's a good reminder for you!"

So I left it, and it IS a good reminder. Thanks, Universe!
