SATURDAY CHIP---HONEST/DISHONEST

SATURDAY CHIP---HONEST/DISHONEST

I like to think I am ALWAYS on the honest side of this chip.
I would never think of doing something dishonest!

But......

Try as I might, I sometimes wonder if I am truly being
honest with myself at times. I try hard to do the right
thing, but sometimes my idea about right and what
others see as right don't always mesh. There are times
when I will expound upon my point of view and ignore
what the other person says or does. Is lying by omission
dishonest?

Any way, this morning I got out of bed and came to an
epiphany ......

I am so busy trying to give my "Pearls of Wisdom" , advice
and truisims I had forgotten the words of wisdom I have
learned thru Al-Anon.

Do I want to be right? Or do I want to be happy?
Sometimes honesty doesn't always lead me to happiness.....

Peace on the journey...... SunnyGirl

One of my favorite slogans..I usually want to be HAPPY instead of right. I used to be the one who wanted to be RIGHT. I wanted to PROVE I was right. I remember the time when I'd tell my spouse he was drinking too much. He disagreed. So I'd hunt all over the house for his empty pint bottlles and I'd line them up on the dresser. It was a godo visual. I did not have to say anything. I left them there until he threw them away.

I am glad today I dont do those silly thing.s He drinks. We both know it. Why do I need to make an issue out of it? I don't . I am much happier when I jstu do my thing and let him do his.
