Title: Gossip in the Community
Tags:
Article: I ran across a quote today that says it pretty straight.   WATCH YOUR THOUGHTS; they become words. WATCH YOUR WORDS; they become actions. WATCH YOUR ACTIONS; they become habits. WATCH YOUR HABITS; they become character. WATCH YOUR CHARACTER; it becomes your destiny. Most of us that live here full time know the gossip and rumors run rampant in the community. I know I became a victim of it from persons I thought were close friends. Guess I was wrong. We all came here for a better way of life and to have a good time and spend our retirement peacefully. We should be pulling together and helping each other out and helping the local community instead of gossiping about what each other is doing or did. So the next time you are talking about Shirly Sue or Billy Bob (names made up) remember the quote above because if you do it enough you become labeled a gossiper and that becomes your destiny. I only turn my cheek one time  in avoidance. sarge
