That is why I’ve pushed back from what I was told and now make my own world. Yet still, those niggling “old” habits do pop up that I was taught and I have to see them in order to squash them and make new. Awesome post, Colleen!!

This reminds me a little of the time, years ago, when I was telling my husband something that had happened during the day, and my young daughter chimed in with, “And then did you say, ‘What the hell?!'” Oops.
