No Negativity Zone…
In my
former blog, I once designated a day for No Negativity…which meant no whining
and complaining or talking about other folks.
I think I may have had to be mostly silent that day! I need to do that again and
again until it’s the norm, not the exception.
Not today...
Yeah, I’ve
already messed up that "No Negativity" thing today.
No One Will Know…
Sometimes
we bloggers think that because we can hide behind a cloak of anonymity that it’s
ok to say whatever we want, regardless of how it may hurt another person or a family. (Some folks do a much better
job of hiding than others.) We should
never forget that God knows who we are.
A Nasty Thing...
Addiction
is a very terrible and very real thing.
There’s enough heartache for a family with an addict, they don’t need
others to continually tear them down. Keeping our
mouths shut and our fingers still will go a long way of helping the situation,
especially when there is no reason to keep bringing it up.
It's No Longer News…
When it
happened months and years ago, it’s no longer news. Even if you consider yourself a newsy kind of
blogger, if you are still posting about it, you must have a purpose, and that
purpose cannot be for anyone’s good. If you are writing exaggerations and
half-truths, you are malicious and slanderous. Don't forget your integrity.
No Nobility…
Nothing
good can be gained by being purposely hurtful to others. Take the noble road, and leave
hurting people to mend from their mistakes and bad choices in peace.

I love that trail and that nature scene; I do hope you share the verse/picture on your blog down the road (S; scripture?)
ReplyDeleteAll great "N" thoughts; I need to focus more on gratitude and less on negativity myself.

Good "Soul Food" to help me keep a good attitude today. Thanks
ReplyDeleteThanks, Joe! I'm still loving your photography!
DeleteI like your N list and photos! I especially like the idea of taking the "noble road."
ReplyDeleteI followed a blog from down your way for a brief period of time. Brief because the posts went from writing about a just cause to having a vendetta. As t;he vendetta tone continued, I realized that the whole "just cause" thing was my personal misinterpretation ow what was going on and quit following.
ReplyDeleteAs a social worker by profession, it should be no suprise that I'm cause oriented. But punitive and mean-spirited? Not so much.
Another A to Z writer wrote on negativity today. It's here,

A good positive post about something I work hard to avoid. The only thing in my life that is negative is one of the terminals on my car battery.
ReplyDeleteSuperb pictures with this post.
Thank you! I am negative by nature, I think, and I have to fight it some days.
DeleteWOW...ANOTHER POST THAT HITS ME WHERE IT HURTS! GOD IS USING YOU TO GET TO ME!
ReplyDeleteI wrote about a similar topic in yesterday's post. It was about "How Other's See Me", and not being hurt or hurting others. It was an expansion on a post from last week, "I Am Not..."
ReplyDeleteI am not sure if you read my blog or even have time, with the A-Z posts, but this one really connected. I agree.
