Telling the truth is a pretty hard thing. – Thomas Wolfe
It sure has been for me. I grew up being most concerned about how to ‘look good’ which involved a good deal of lying. It took its toll on my marriage, and I’ve managed to pass the problem on, as my kids have struggled with it at times. I’ve managed to overcome it for the most part in the past few years, and it sure makes life a lot easier. I didn’t realize how much energy it took… and how much peace of mind it was robbing from me.
