gossip...

I for one try hard not to gossip and still find myself doing it and than am really disappointed with myself for doing it. I do not know which of my flaws makes me gossip, It seems like I just gossip although I am working really hard at not saying bad things about people. As my Mother use to say if you can't say something nice about someone don't say anything at all. I have a plaque that says Lord put your arm around my shoulder and your hand over my mouth. I try to keep that in mind, it helps. I have a friend I have to be careful around she likes to gossip and if I am not careful I will join her. I work really hard keep conversation away from gossip, she is always talking about what other people have and how little she has. I stress how thankful we need to be for the things we do have and their are a lot of folks much worse off than us. It is so easy for us to gossip and takes work not to, maybe at heart I am not a good person. I am just a wanna be good person LOL

Gossip is what bonds me and my friends. During our break and lunch time at the office, all we do is talk about our bosses and make fun of their mistakes. I know that nobody's perfect but it's fun to point out bad things about someone you don't like. You're right. Gossip is a bad thing so make sure that when you do it, you're also ready to be a victim of it. It happens all the time.
