So hard (not) to say

For my public speaking class at work, which is also kind of a self-improvement thing, I had to give a talk on a relationship that I would like to strengthen. And I did that, promising to work on my attitude, to not criticize, condemn, or complain when it comes to a certain person who annoys me (not a blog reader).

Today it was very, very hard not to criticize, condemn, or complain, especially in my head. And I wanted to vent so badly to Joy. But I refrained. And it sucked. But At least I'll have something to report this week when I have to talk in class about how this is going.

(I'm not posting any pictures from last night's party, because most of mine suck. Maybe I'll get some others that will be better).

About Me

  • I'm thirty & living in Amish Country, PA. I'm a marketing writer for a non-profit.
  • I'm Mennonite, but not in a head-covered, dress-wearing kind of way. More in a hippy-liberal, peace-loving kind of way.
  • I like books, discussing, thinking, my church, friends, and my family.
  • I'm good at gift-giving, shopping, and writing.
  • I'm bad at meeting new people, cleaning my car, and keeping my house warm.
  • I'm annoyed by people who wear shorts in the winter, create excessive drama, don't recycle, or talk about how fat they are.
