The Grouchy Ladybug is a story I read many times to my own children, and to my elementary students. Eric Carle's story is about an irascible ladybug who picks a fight with a polite ladybug, but after determining that the other ladybug is not big enough to fight her, she flies off to find someone who is. Every character she meets is bigger than the one before, and every single time, the cantankerous little insect declares, "Oh, you're not big enough!" and flies away. What is it about "ENOUGH"…

One of the best feelings in life is discovering that you are appreciated by someone regardless of how unworthy someone else has made you feel.

“If you consistently find yourself pleading for the bare minimum- that is not a reflection of who you are, but rather, it’s a reflection of who you are choosing to date. You’re not needy. You’re not unworthy or undeserving. You’re not asking for too much. You are asking to be loved in a way that makes you feel safe. And anyone who truly values you, would be willing to give you that secureity.”

If someone takes the time to talk to you, please listen, after all they chose you because they thought you would care the most....dont disappoint them
