I've stopped swearing!
I came to my senses and realized that I am only embarrassing myself. I'm a grown man and should not be cursing like a sailor.
May joy and love fill your lives, and may those darn problems just shoo themselves away!
You will all be in my thoughts, as we are on this crazy ride together.
Remember, turn that frown upside down!

that was fucking perfect. 
The use of obscene or taboo language - or swearing, as it’s more commonly known - is often seen as a sign that the speaker lacks vocabulary, cannot express themselves in a less offensive way, or even lacks intelligence.
Studies have shown, however, that swearing may in fact display a more, rather than less, intelligent use of language.
While swearing can become a habit, we choose to swear in different contexts and for different purposes: for linguistic effect, to convey emotion, for laughs, or perhaps even to be deliberately nasty.

But each to his/her own. I cut back greatly when around the grandkids but upped it a notch or two reading the news. It keeps me from throwing my tablet across the room.
I made a career as a construction worker and semi driver. I liberally peppered my speech with the vulgarities one might expect of a truck driver, and then some.
At a point, some 6-7 years ago, I came to realize that I probably came off, to some, as uneducated and semi literate, and that sort of speech became immediately less appealing and tolerable. I still will use a vulgarity on occasion for emphasis, but it feels wrong, out of date and mostly unnecessary.
That said, I do feel better about myself and believe I am a better person for it.
I'm happy to see that there are others on that train of thought.
Thanks for the post.
