As much as I don't want to or think it's right, i find myself still doing it every now and then. It is a huge new years resolution for me. I have always been in awe with my parents because I don't hear negative things about people come out of their mouths! I really respect that :)Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-19271262.post-92034498919422513342009-01-18T16:55:00.000-07:002009-01-18T16:55:00.000-07:00Olivia! your poor poor nose. that is such a yucky...Olivia! your poor poor nose. that is such a yucky feeling. It seems a lot of people are talking about honesty lately. I have just found that I don't need to tell everyone whats going on in my life because not everyone knows whats going on in my head, so it leads to judging and talking behind backs. I have a few people in my life who if something goes really bad, i can talk to them and i know they will listen and not tell. And lately i'm finding that maybe I should be the one who listens more. I am really liking being the listener. I miss you! I know you are so busy, but if you ever have a minute, please let me know. I'd love to talk. And i don't mean text talk or blog talk! hahaAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-19271262.post-15443314196741018822009-01-14T15:33:00.000-07:002009-01-14T15:33:00.000-07:00I know what you mean about the stereotypical blogs...I know what you mean about the stereotypical blogs and I felt the same way for a while (maybe it's that need to be different gene), but when we realized what a great blessing it would be for Roland's parents, I took the dive. They check it every day for updates about their little grandkids. I've come to see the benifits of it for myself too. It gives me a chance to record things (who has time for a scrapbook?) that I would otherwise forget. And, as for focusing on the positive, I loved Pres. Eyring's talk (the one I quoted on the inside of your journal) about looking for the Hand of the Lord every day. Roland and I write in our Hand of the Lord journal daily and it has really helped us to feel humbled and grateful. So, while honesty is always appreciated, I agree that there's nothing wrong with looking for the positive. <BR/>p.s. sorry about leaving the world's longest comment! :) Love you!Amiehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16033162163218640210noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-19271262.post-44209308891804666962009-01-13T17:25:00.000-07:002009-01-13T17:25:00.000-07:00I love your honesty.
