Oh come on… we’re all guilty of it. Leaning in to hear a juicy tidbit, that may or may not be true, then letting it cloud our judgment when we form our opinion. It’s not right and it’s certainly not nice, and it comes in all forms! It invades our thought processes. It colors the impression of the person you’re sitting next to… even decides what kind of orange juice to buy at the grocery store.
I say throw it out.. get rid of it! Hear the whole truth and then put on those moccasins and walk in them. You never know, you might gain a whole new perspective on a few things. I’m not pointing fingers…. just that little voice in all of us… just something I’ve been thinking about when it comes to resolutions…I mean, beside exercise!
Antonyms: Evidence, proof, reality, testimony, truth, quiet, silence
Make your resolution before someone makes it for you!
This is perfect for resolutions. It is obviously a picture of the wife handing over her husband’s new year’s resolutions.
A thought provoking piece and something to live by my contribution is I gave up watching and reading the news due to the news reports here in the UK resembling the gossip over the garden fence rather than proper journalism.
Here’s wishing you a Happy New Year
Wonderful resolution. A better world we would have if everyone adhered to that thinking!
Hee hee, I love that the little wife has procured a honey-do/resolution list for her hubby. Hee hee!! Good one, Roberta. Hey, you should just resubmit this for IF’s resolutions.
