Gossip.

This week I vow to not gossip. Yes. I admit it. I do it. But perhaps I'm most guilty of listening to it and then either egging the person on by being an avid listener or asking questions. I hate this. I always feel a little gross after I do it. And I really hate it when it's about people I barely even know. One of my work relationships thrived on gossip. This girl/woman was a real devout gossiper. I noticed that whenever I complained about someone , she was always there to listen, contribute and then she would come back later and want to talk about it some more. When I stopped telling her things, she stopped coming around. Interesting. So starting this week, I'm going to keep my mouth shut and if someone wants to tell me some dirt, I'll be as polite as I can while disengaging. I want to be a better person. Hopefully this won't make life boring!
