'C'....C is for Congeniality

When I think of the word congeniality the first thing I think of is Sandra Bullock in the movie "Miss Congeniality"....so how can I be serious here? :)

Well it's a word I don't hear too often these days, but the dictionary says it means to be 'kindred temper to' or 'with another or others' or 'suiting one's disposition, pleasurable'.

What a funny old word that is...I still can't stop thinking about Sandra Bullock and that snorting laugh she had so is that why they called her 'Miss Congeniality'?

I think I'll try to be more congenial, to get along with others more, let that read family!!
Gee can you be congenial all the time? I doubt it, so perhaps most of the time? I thought I did that generally. And yet I am not sure I would be described as being congenial....so I'm gonna think about that one and see where it takes me.

I'm going to strive to be a type of ' Miss Congeniality' myself....but wait does that mean  for me to be getting along with everyone that I will have to agree with them all the time.... ignore my own values and opinions......well I could keep my opinions to myself of course, not that I've been known for that particular quality!

Oh dear, now I have myself a little dilemma don't I? :) How will I get around that one, not having an opinion unless of course I'm asked for it.....mmmmmmmm that might be hard cause I always seem to have something to say, just ask my friends.

And sometimes, just sometimes I say, having an opinion has not always produced the best outcome so maybe, just maybe there is something in being an observer rather than a participant in the show!

Ok, I'm going to give that some consideration, I wonder what my life would be like if I just listened, nodded my head politely, or gave it the odd shake here and there, perhaps I could practice thinking on the inside rather than expressing outside.

That sure would make life a lot easier for certain situations for sure...so ok, congeniality, I'm gonna give you a try!

Stay tuned folks hehehe
