Musical Mondays: Gene Kelly- "I Like Myself"
I've never seen the 1955 movie "It's Always Fair Weather" with Gene Kelly, but my Mom found this clip & song...it's a fun bit to watch~ good song, and that skating is wonderful! One of the many lines: "...She likes me, so- I like myself....she likes me, so- so do I..." =)
Of course we shouldn't base our self worth on what others think of us...however when someone likes or loves you it really does make you feel really good!!
I suppose it's a kind of confirmation like...oh, I really must be okay because this terrific person loves me! (and sees something in me I don't yet see or realize I am/have!)
I know, it's not the same thing when your parents think you are terrific....but we DO!
