Keep your mouth shut!


This is just an advice post.
Twice this week I experienced things that I had said getting misconstrued and retold to some of my friends with negative end results. So I really thought long and hard and came to the realization that even if they're your "good friends" they may not trust you as much as you would think or like and the power of persuasion of others can be dangerous to your relationship sometimes. Whether it's intentional or not, I still haven't decided. I do think sometimes others look at your friendships and get a bit envious and a well placed comment could rock that friendship a bit or perhaps just and unintentional slip of a shared topic can cause a friend to feel a little betrayed. So the moral of the story is... Keep Your Mouth Shut. If you feel like you need to vent. Vent to your husband, your priest or your shrink. (I would include sisters in this list but I have several and they all talk to each other so the same thing can happen with us sometimes!) If you're like me and you love all of your friends to be friends with each other and go out of your way to make that happen, chances are they will vent to each other too and some comment that you've made could inadvertently cause a bruised feeling or two. So, just don't do it. And don't worry... Everything's good in my life no more drama... I just wanted to share with you my lesson of the week. :) Happy Sunday!

  1. My motto "if you can't say something nice about others even in the temptation" say nothing at all :)
    Glad everything turned out okay.
