Honesty part II

So my dad went to his first day of counselling for alcohol treatment. finally. i'd like to be optimistic about this, but I'd rather just not think about it. He skipped his first AA meeting and got drunk instead....

I've talked at some length about honesty but I'd like to add two more thoughts. The first thing is that if you are trying to inspire someone or help someone and you're trying to make them feel good, don't lie to them. If you can't cheer them up with honesty, then just stay away. When I'm depressed, I'm paranoid about everyone else's intentions, so if there isn't complete sincerity in your voice, it WILL be noticeable. If you don't hink that person is the most wondeful human being in existence, then pick something else to say. Besides, if you only tell someone the most wondeful of compliments, you're gonna run out of them. The second thing is I wanted to say is that you being honest in a relationship is priority, but if someone isn't being honest with you, whether it's a friend feeding you false information or you bf/gf lying to you about where they were (unless they really were buying you a gift), then don't even waste your time with them. If it's an old friend, this doens't mean you tell them off and cut contact, but take everything with a grain of salt. Lies mean they're hiding something. Sounds obvious, but....

I made my own salad dressing today out of scratch. stoked.
Got a water analysis of the town's water but it just says that the fluoride levels are below the limit, so I'm gonna do some digging. Doesn't appear to be any clubs worthy of joing here and I coudn't find volunteer info.
I remembered another part of my grad dream. Sherrie was their too and I remember thinking that it was the first time I'd seen here since grad. Yet that WAS grad. weird....
