Character Traits

"Be an angel and be kind." Quote By Poet As a child I was told to never judge a person or a book, to get to know them not by merely a look. This has been great advice, I never had to think twice. I have tried to be kind, this gives me peace of mind. After a person hurts me, I leave fast as a big bumble bee. I just want to fly away, I have nothing to say.

I believe that is the best way to handle a person who hurts us. Walk away and don't look back unless it is family then, of course, we need to try to work it out. This one reads like a good contender for the contest to me. Way to go. Thanks for sharing this one and for dropping by my page. Sara
