Decent………..

Old fashioned word!! I have heard that word bandied around for years, and hearing it the other day sent my mind spinning around to growing up days when Mom uttered it often over breaches of behavior in generally. So, I grew up with what was acceptable or not in clothes, demeanor, and a definite perception of what was decent.

I, of course, went straight to my thesaurus to see if anything had changed since my childhood! The definition I liked best was this: Honorable, following the acceptable rules of moral conduct! Wow! Mom was right even back then!

I’m a bit homesick for that old fashioned word. It’s meaning has not changed, but we have. Anything other than “honorable “ seems to be acceptable!

I like Mom’s ideas best! Anything that makes you cringe as you accept it, or make you think of its bad impact on others is not honorable. I was told the other day to just close my eyes and do this particular thing!Never!!! With eyes wide open, I’ll seek the honorable way!
