i can choose

i realize that i like to gossip. Not a ton, and definitely not to just anyone, but i do. After all hearing things can be fascinating. its not so fascinating and tempting when the subject is people you love (family or friends).

Gossip hurts, it hurts me, and it hurts others. Unfortunately with the way the internet is it has brought on a whole new level of gossip. it hurts me to read things posted online that are negative about those i care about. We have all heard the horrific stories about how online gossip can destroy lives so i won't harp on that.

School has started. Elijah started last week and Chloe starts on Thurs. Since this is the beginning of the year for me, after all when i drop off Chloe on Thurs i am going to party like its 1999!, i decided to write some personal resolutions for myself. Here goes.

i choose to no longer gossip, especially online.

i choose to be happy. As most of you know i struggle with depression, especially postpartum depression and this year has been so bad that at least 50% of days i have not been able to function. i can and will choose to be happy.

i choose to love my family and friends for the great people they are.

i am sure i will find more but here they are right now!

Good post Kori. I too love a good gossip on occasion, but have also been hurt by gossip. I'm gonna take a page from your blog and try not to do it anymore either.

Happy New Year! Too bad we didn't live closer, we could party together!
