Monday Morning Motivation, Breathe Before You Speak.

Dan, I have come to learn that those with the least to say usually have the most value to their words.  I'm still learning, thank you. 

Karen that is just what life is all about, precious moments that become precious memories.  I have been quite blessed in my time to have many.

Ah, pure words of wisdom Sir Rog!  You are so right.

I am simply astonished Kristin,... are you saying you have a temper? 

Well thank you Gary.  She is a doll!  I have to admit, I am still learning but I am trying!

Ellen, those who really need it probably wouldn't get it if they were here!  That's just the way it works. 

Thanks Kathy, it really is but it sure does make life much better in so many ways when we do.

Awe Sharon, thank you!  You know, it's not even hurtful comments that we have to stop and breathe and think first.  I have found if I stop for just a moment, I am finding much better ways to say things in general.  Kind of like writing a blog.  It gives me time to fine tune and even organize my thoughts.  And as far as hurtful, I cannot imagine a heart like yours being hurtful!

Awe, you guys ROCK!!! 

It was a long day today but I'll be back tomorrow to comment to each of you.  Thanks guys, just the encouragement I needed tonight!  Big hugs to all of you!  :)

Great Idea Ralph!  I think she'll appreciate it greatly.  Hope you have a great rest of the week!  :)

Richard, it is always a pleasure to talk to you on the phone even when I quickly get what I need and run off!  Just using you and abusing you!  LOL!!!  Now, just breathe,....  Life is much better with plenty of oxygen in our lungs so fill the lungs and clear the mind.  :)

I have had to do a lot of that breathing lately Joni, and it is helping!  Whew, what a world this Real Estate is!!!  :)

As tough as it is Kathy, I am learning to do just that!  Breathe and think,... breathe and think,... Funny how other folks tend to put their foot in their mouths when you do that!  :)

Excellent points John and it's amazing how quickly all those thoughts can go through ones mind!  I bet your chow's really do love the water.  With all that fluff, it must feel great!

Steve, I wish you the very best in fulfilling that New Year's resolution!  It's a tough one, but you can do it.  :)

Oh Ed Silva, there is no way I could possibly ever believe that!  Hee hee hee, okay maybe just a little bit.  Glad you liked the photo my friend.  :)D

Yes Julie, me too.  But I am getting very good at taking care not to speak before thinking.  Most of the time anyhow.  Aint that little gal a cutie!  :9

Ha ha Nick, it is; "Be sure to engage brain before putting mouth in gear."  I know that one well!  My mom's favorite phrase was the open mouth insert foot!  LOL  I hear her voice in my head often!  :6

Ah yes Tom, and many a regret and apology because of it.  Wishing you well my friend.  :)

Thank you Conrad, yes.  All is well and I hope all is well for you too.  How's the knee? 

They do live in the moment my Zinger friend, that they do!  And having them around sure helps us do the same.  :)

Awe Charita, SAWEEEEET!  Thank you.  Wishing you a wonderful week!

Cathy, that is one of the best way's I've heard that put yet!  You hit it right on the head my friend!!!

Why thank you Kerrie!  She's my little Destiny and oh so precious.  How is that adorable nephew of yours doing?
