Thinking.....

I'm a pretty nice person...really,I am! But, I have a lot of character flaws (yes friends, A LOT). I've been working on one of those flaws lately. I tend to be critical of people, taking offense at little things that people say or do, wondering why they don't have any manners etc. I've been trying lately to look for the best in people, to give them the benefit of the doubt.

Sister Marjorie Hinckley once said "Be kind. Everyone you know is fighting a hard battle."

I agree. We are all going through hard things....because life is hard!!!! True, some things may be harder to get through than others, but at the moment the thing we are going through is probably the hardest thing ever.

All I want to do is try to be able to remember that when someone says something curt to me, when they are sarcastic or when they are out to be offensive.

And all I ask is that others think about that before they say things. Nothing can hurt more than a friend who is short with you, or demands something from you in the very hour that you need their arms around your shoulder.
