It's Fall!

And you know what that means? It's time to turn over a new "leaf". What leaf will I turn over? WELL, I'M MAKING A CONSCIOUS EFFORT TO STOP YELLING SO MUCH! Especially at my kids. I find myself yelling at them all the time. Many-a times a day. They, too, have picked up on this bad habit and yell at each other a lot. So our home is all too often filled with the unjoyful sounds of yelling. Let's see if we can make this a quiet zone. So what leaf are you going to turn over in your life? Anybody with me in trying to change something about your personality? Or anything about yourself that you don't like and want to change? Leave me a comment and let me know.

I've been somewhat successful at being more positive about things in general (Like I'm sayin') and not picking on people by tearing them down. I still do it, but not as much. A couple of times recently I have really developed a guilty conscience after making some sarcastic smart*ss comments to people I work with. I immediately wished I could take that stuff back.

I agree with ghraper. One thing that I would like to change about my personality is not attacking every almost every person that I meet. I don't do it verbally, but in my head. I am usually good about not saying it aloud, though.

I also can tear people down verbally, and that is usually friends. The people that I work with all rip on each other constantly. There is no such thing as too far with them. Other friends I have are not that way, and I have taken it too far with them. Enough to hurt feelings, and that's not good.
