Speaking without thinking is one of my greatest weaknesses. Even at 25 years old my mother is still telling me to "be nice!" Seriously. And even when I am being nice, a lot of times it sounds like I'm being insincere.
It goes like this:
Me: "I like your dresssss??????"
Her: Thanks.....?
Me: "No, really, I think it's cute, it looksreallygoodonyouwheredidyougetitiseriouslyloveit!"
Her: *blink*
I just sound like I'm digging myself a huge hole. One of the topics in Come, Follow Me this month is "How do the things I say affect those around me?" and I've made a renewed commitment to "say nice", and think before I speak.
Here is a free "handout" (it's the 8x11.5--the size of regular printer paper, right?) for your classes if you haven't covered this topic already.
