Day 17 — A habit you wish you didn't have

I have a habit of assuming the worst. I think this is different than being pessimistic because I don't think I'm a pessimistic person. But I do assume the worst of people sometimes and don't always give people a chance when I should. And then there are other times when I'm overly confident and someone doesn't follow through on something they were supposed to or something like that. And then I usually assume the worst about that person! It's awful and John only recently pointed this out about me and I guess I never really realized.

I guess I'll add giving people the benefit of the doubt to my list of goals for 2011...
