Took a long, hard look at my motives


Tonight I noticed that one corner of our apartment smells like beer.  Obviously, either my AH or his friend, who had been staying with us, spilled some beer over there.  We are moving out of this apartment in a week.  Our new place does not have carpetl

 

Oooo, I so wanted to send a text message to my AH.  I examined every possible wording.  I found there was no way I could send that text message in accordance with THINK...I could not say what I was going to say in a thoughtful, honest, important, necessary and kind way.  That made it clear to me that sending a message would have only been about making my AH feel bad. 

 

So I didn't send it.

Oh, I like that one. Thank you so much for sharing. I often question my motive before I send a text and then delete it as I type it. Good for you!
