not gossip

I feel in the other day. Way in.. I was gossiping for hours. You know what? All of this time I have not been gossiping I had learned so much about people that I was shocked when it all came pouring out!

Dont stop at any office on my way to class and shut my door. Now people think I am smart! Isnt that funny?

but I am not going to say I have done it yet. I think it is an ongoing thing. The temptation is there daily… I am just to busy to take part.

You want to know how? I shut my office door. Yes I have less friends down my hall … but they dont hate me they just know I am not in the gossip game anymore. Besides I saw a woman get very hurt by this last semester and I wont be party to someones pain—not for that pettiness. I just wont.

This is not as easy as it once seemed. A lot of people talk about others and I seem to fall into that trap when I am not paying attention. I have to be more cognizant of my actions.

I am getting much better at this and I am noticing how much others gossip. Oddly my husband and his friends gossip more than I ever had noticed. It is sort of funny to watch. Men suck at gossip—but they can be just as catty.
