Now it’s your turn to share! Pick one of the prompts and answer in the comments below!
I had no idea that your use of “that’s not ideal” was intentional; I thought it was just a phrase you picked up somewhere along the way! And now I use it too!! Way to help me cut out those super negative words, friend 🙂
YES- very intentional. I cut out a bunch of words as much as possible, so I had to put new words in that were more appropriate for the situation. “that’s not ideal” seems like a good fit 🙂 hahaha. I’m glad you’ve picked that little habit of mine up!
Yes, COFFEE!!!
A day starting with coffee is so ideal, right? 🙂 Happy Thanksgiving friend.
