We took a road trip this weekend to visit some long-time friends that we don't see very often. This was our first time visiting them ever, yet they've driven half-way across the country several times just to visit us (they are only 6 hours away now). Anyway, I tried to take the opportunity to spread a bit of kindness - I gave away a dove and put post-it notes in all the restrooms. And all of us had a great time just hanging out together and chatting.There's something great about being with long-time friends: they'll tell you stuff others wouldn't. And so this weekend I was told that I am pretty "bashing" toward a certain group of people. And that surprised me, because I thought I was getting better at that. Because I've been working toward being less judgmental, less negative, more positive, more accepting, just kinder all around. I guess I'm not as far along as I thought I was.
I'm glad he told me. Now I know what needs more work!

When I was very young I used to wash all the clothes together. One day my sister said to me when I was about 50, you wash your clothes whites and colors together. I just laughed and said , "maybe 30 odd yrs ago but not now. we all change". The point I am making is she had this view of me that wasn't the today me. people see what they remember. I will bet you have changed a lot but they just don't "see " it yet.
