So yesterday W took her mom to the hair dressers. I stayed home and cleaned carpets. When Wife got back she said her mom jokes about hopping into my Mustang (I keep it in her Garage, she has no car) and coming over to see me because I was going to be all alone that night when W and son went to the movies. I laughed and said "ya right" I told her I was going to go over her Mom's house on Sunday to work in the Mustang. W said that she needed to go over there also because she needed to clean up her mom's kitchen.( MIL eye sight is going) and then W said that when she was over there she had to use MIL bathroom and it was "discussing". I told wife that when I went over there I would clean the bathroom.(Wife HATES cleaning bathrooms) she said that would be nice. So wife left for the movies and I told them both to have a good time. I stayed When they got home I asked if they had a good time and they both said yes. I asked if it was a movie that I should see in a theater or was it on that I could just wait for it to come out on DVD. Wife said she did not think it was a movie I would like.(they went to see twilight). So this morning I got up and went to MIL house to clean her bathroom. I am amazed how when you become aware of the words you use how they stand out. I mean most of us say things (automatically). But with the Doc trying to become a better person I am not only listening to others. I am also listening to myself. While over MIL house she started telling me about a Nephew that was fixing up her brothers p/u that he inherited. (This was a really nice truck when he got it but it has now sat for 6 yrs and deteriorated). I said "that was a nice truck already when he got it,if he would have taken care of it he would not have had to fix it up again"
OK AFTER I said this I thought.... why could I have not just said "that’s great"? Why did I have to say the NEGATIVE? I am on a journey now to improve myself. They say that nobody can change anybody else.. But I have to disagree. I am finding that when I have changed the way I have been saying things and acting around situations the other party also has a changed attitude.
Well got ta go Stay tuned in for more of

And if I claim to be a wise man, well It surely means that I don't know
