I was asked to speak at a huge Mass today. It's in a sports complex. It will be 19 catholic schools in all of western KY. (several thousand people) They asked me if I'd read the opening. I said SURe. Then I got the suggested script and it's 6 pages long. It's at the beginning, middle and end. I was honestly surprised, but dont mind . I will do a great job, I am sure. I lvoe to read. I actually feel honored that out of all of the people inthe system, the ones in charge chose ME to be the announcer.
honest/dishonest? I used to be dishonest with myself more thanothers. I'd tell myself this is not so bad, when it was. I'd tell myself...i can make them stop drinking, when i was fooling myself. it only got worse. I told myself, I can never be happy, but I had not found the 12 steps.
Today i try to be honest with myself, with others and especially with my HP. Why lie? I know people who would make up a lie insted of telling the truth jsut because it's more colorful. it will make them shocked or laugh. Why make it up? One of the good parts abot always being honest, you dont have to remember what you told last time for your LIE...because the lies will trip you up.
We had a cousin who lied all the time. She once asked us for $200 to pay for a light bill. She said she spent her billmoney on a pageant dress for her daughter. She then asked a brother in law for the $200 but she told him she needed it for a different reason. She then asked an aunt for the $200 and gave her a different lie. Somehow we got wind and realized she used all three of us. her sistersaid SHE paid for the dress. We jsut assume it was drug money she was seeking. Lies can trip you up. tell the truth and it wont get you in trouble.
I do try to remember other's feelings. If I were to be so brutally honest with another that it hurt their feelings...i need to stay quiet. Have you seen the commercial where the lady asked her husband if her butt looks big inthat outfit? he mumbles YES. If i was asked if something made a butt look big and the answer was YES, I'd say it in a tactful way...such as I like your blue one on you better. No need to be so honest we hurt others. If i was asked to share my story, I ahve some gory details too...and I'd not leave them out if they were inportant tot he story. time constraints are what usually makes a differentce in how much to share.

Was quite affronted if anyone insinuated that I was anything less than honest. The reality was I didn't even know what self-honesty was. I think mainly because I was brought up with the old tape that said my opinion didn't count, so I intended to not equate me into the equation let alone the solution.
