I choose to be kind. Really, somedays it is a choice -- because I will always speak up for myself and for others, especially when wronged in any way. Am not a one-dimensional person. I love to laugh and have great conversations. But I'm not a doormat for myself or for others. That scares people sometimes in real life. When situations happen like that and I do push back, they seem startled and say they thought I was sweet. Well, "sweetness" doesn't mean you let just anything go without a challenge. There is an inner warrior in me that I need to tame better sometimes, especially my language. But God knows my heart is for Him and that I keep trying. So, with His help, I will keep choosing to be kind on a daily basis, and ask Him to help with my inner warrior. ;)
