But the line above can be applied to other behaviors, such a secretes. I say this since unintentional secretes have been festering for some time. Unintentional meaning comments I want to make and have made to others except the victim (victim is too strong of a word but I can't think of something better). I'm afraid of hurting the victim's feelings. However, I am reminded of another of my father's proverbs--"Honesty is the best policy."
Since my father is usually right, I am determined to be honest but the honesty needs to be accompanied by sincerity, politeness, and gentleness (I love that I just personified honesty :) ).
So let me start practicing:
If asked, "Do I look good in this outfit?" Honesty replies, "Hell no!" But honesty with sincerity, politeness, and gentleness replies, "Though a pretty color, I think the other costume looks better on you." Dr. Phill would be proud!
Someone should have been honest when I decided to take these photos.
On a girls weekend, we decided to dress up as if it was prom night and take pictures in the lobby of the hotel. What was I thinking?
