Our Words can either build up or tear down!

They are like money in the bank if rightly used.  You have the option to choose what they will be, use them wisely.

Not long ago I went to a local business in O Fallon, MO and ask if I could do a post on my blog about them and were very gracious and said yes, even to the point that they supplied the interior photos.  So late last night, I was reviewing my email one last time before shutting the trusty laptop off.  I saw the email below and was surprised that the owner of Vintners Cellar had sent me this kind email.

From: Regina Ruppert Email: vintnerscellar@charter.net Subject: THANK YOU!
I was doing a search and up popped your blog--Thank you for the compliments and letting people know we are hear. I will ask our web master(my son in law) to link to your site. I loved your promo, once again thank you! We look forward to seeing you again soon,.Regina

There are times that I am concerned about being able to present  something and in this case I really wanted to  make sure that folks got a true picture of Vintner's Cellar. So what did I do?  Like many of us I shot off this email:

We are at times at a disadvantage and do not know how our words affect people.

Let me say that everybody could use a hug so if you are not into hugs wrap someone in warm, kind words and it will come back to you

Have a GREAT DAY today and make it a goal to find something nice to say to just one person today.
