I'm loving this!
Last night we had really good friends join us for dinner. Throughout the evening, I was observing, observing, observing my mind and my speech and my impulses. Being "aware" is a lot of cool work!
These friends have great senses of humour, some of which is just good old-fashioned funny, some of which is sarcastic. As I engaged in the conversation, I noticed how sarcasm is based on un-truth; that is where its humour lies. So I didn't fret too much about that, but I also observed how sarcasm is often negative. THAT I watched for in my own speech. I think I made it through properly. In hindsight, I seemed to have an unusually high sense of calm about me. It seems that the absence of the sort of agitation that comes from negative sarcasm was absent in me. That's my theory and I'm sticking to it!
Dale brought butter-tarts for desert. I SOOO wanted to have one, but there is NO way anyone could call that much processed sugar "pure".
Neat evening!
