Sex & Shenanigans

One thing? Jeez, I try new things all the time. But apropos of the conversation I’ve tried hard to eliminate the more toxic words from my vocabulary over the last decade or so. Still slip occasionally but less and less.
That’s amazing … it is hard to grow and evolve in our changing words and their impact.
 
What is one thing you started doing in attempt to be a better human?
Years ago, I learned to just laugh it off when I do something stupid - because it happens and there is no reason to let it beat me up.

Then I realized I needed to absolutely do the same with my spouse. That was years ago, and it was probably the best idea I have ever had.

Then relatively recently, I realized I should extend that same grace to strangers. It isn’t always easy when I see someone do something really stupid, like almost hit my car or something… but life is so much better when I don’t let that stuff get to me. I don’t always succeed, but I try… and I won’t beat myself up when I fail at that too. 🤷‍♀️🤷‍♀️

Yes!!!! So much this!!

I used to get super annoyed when someone would cut me off in traffic … but sometimes it is genuinely a mistake … I’ve done it. Now I try to just let it roll off my shoulders and go back to singing along to the radio.
