Thursday Rude/Polite

[~graced~]

Great...LOL I had problems with tolerance yesterday and today's pick was that old rude/polite chip. Ya THINK someone's trying to tell me something? LOL

If I won't BE tolerant the least I can do is ACT tolerant.
Act as if---until my thinking is changed, I still have the responsibility to 'act as if'--cuz I don't have a license to go whapping people!

I do have a tendency to pop off in moments of fear or anger. I guess today I'll be practicing politeness even if it KILLS me....LOL
(It won't, of course--I'm just a drama queen some moments!)

Have a great Thursday out there!

Rude is generally a result of anger and intolerance and thankfully, something that doesn't come out very often these days. It is an old pattern that has changed and seldom makes itself known. My tongue use to be a weapon that I used to tear strips off of others and tear people apart forgetting to put them back together again. In today, I try to use my tongue to build up and put people back together.

In the past I ahve been known to be RUDE. But when I traced my true feelings I realized i was not angry at the person I was being rude to...it was almost always because of something in my life that was leaving me powerless. I try to rememebr that when somebody is rude TO me. I'ts probably nothing to do with ME.
