kind/unkind

[Lin]

Today the stick I pulled was kind or unkind.

I definitely see myself more on he KIND side of this one. There is a saying I hear in alanon...say what you mean...mean what you say...but don't say it mean. I try to keep that in mind when I talk to anybody.
Sometimes I just don't say anything. My grandmother always said if you can't say something nice, don't say anything. Yesterday we went to Arbys for a snack. The heat was turned way down and the restaurant was freezing. His curly fries were cold. and my ham and cheese sandwich was totally cold. But I didn't complain. They have a sign that says let us know and we will make it right. But I jstu didn't day anything. I didn't feel like a complainer. It' Christmas.

See myself as kind. I have learned over the years, that honesty is generally the best policy. If I have to share something that may be upsetting to someone, I choose my words carefully and look at how I say it. Attitude can be a good thing or a bad thing.

There really isn't a reason to be unkind, the same as there is no reason to be rude.
