Some of my personal favorites expressed here.
Especially poingnant now.
"And the leaves that are green turn to brown."

3. I have the right to express all of my feelings, positive or negative.
Yes, even if others disagree! These are *my* feelings. They are worthy.

9. I have the right not to be responsible for others' behavior, actions, feelings or problems
I have enough on my hands being responsible for my own.
Others can be responsible for their own behaviors, actions, feelings and problems that they bring on themselves. It's not mine to solve for them.

10.
I have the right to expect honesty from others.
But, I won't hold a resentment when it isn't forthcoming. I'll simply learn.

19. I have the right to be healthier than those around me.
Lately, that seems to be more often.

24. I have the right to be treated with dignity and respect
No need to reiterate here. It's self evident.

Beautiful post full of truth for all.
Thanks for posting!

Shalom!
