bite your tongue...

"If...Questions for the Soul"
By Evelyn McFarlane & James Saywell

well ladies and gents i have discovered my latest blogging challenge. its a ride you can take with me if you so please. give ya'll something to think about it instead of just reading my silly thoughts and venting sprees.

way back in the day when i was a jr. in college [which actually wasnt THAT long ago], my crazy group of girl friends took a road trip to North Myrtle Beach for spring break. what a trip that was! anyways, one of my friends left this book in my car [see above for title and author].

i'm the worst at keeping my car clean. so when it came time to clean the sucker out and sell it [thanks for doing that parentals], the book was found and stored away in a box labeled "car junk" [okay not really, but you get the point that it was shoved away and forgotten about].

i recently went to my parentals' house to pick up a few things i needed and the book was in my pile of things to take back with me. then i got to thinking, this could be a good thing to read and blog about.

so here we go, i may or may not be consistent with doing these, but here is the first one i randomly turned to:

"If you were to name your least developed emotion, what would it be?"

My least developed emotion... i would have to say anger. anger is an emotion right? i mean i get angry, but my ability to express it is by far the least developed for me. i dont know why though. maybe it was because i was taught not to speak back to others out of anger.

i have written hundreds of letters out of anger - but never given them to that person they were to. i have rehearsed millions of things things that i should say to someone to put them in there place- but have only been able to do it twice [in my adult life that is]. and even then felt awful about it afterwards.

yes, i would have to say that is my least developed emotion.

"A fool gives full vent to his anger but a wise man keeps himself under control" - Proverbs 29:11

la ta di da...what is your least developed emotion?

[jill, if you want this book back, you can have it. also, i apologize for holding your book hostage for the last 3 years...]
