Other Information
Lent is coming up. I was considering what I wanted to give up for Lent (although sometimes I think we should think consider GIVING something for lent, like volunteering time, or doing something positive). I have come up with it.

I have decided to speak only positively about others and situations. Sometimes at work, I find myself discussing policies of our school in a negative light. I am aware that the people I am talking to are people who like to gossip and who receive pleasure in other's misfortunes and are not people who are trustworthy. I have discovered there seem to be more people out there who would talk sweetly to your face, but would just as easily stab you in the back or feel happy when you struggle.

I would like to raise myself above this. Not in the sense that I want to be better than another. I would like to attempt this in a humble manner, realizing that those who behave this way probably have some reason for it and have not come to an understanding of how their negative thinking can affect their lives.

Sometimes negative thoughts will come into my mind, but I resolve not to share those out loud during Lent and hopefully after. After all, if you can't say something nice, don't say anything at all :)
