Motivational Monday…Words

Good morning Kathy. Like your choice of words, good and bad. It reminds me to take my brain out of park before I put my mouth into drive! Sometimes I forget and regret. Enjoy your day.

Good morning, Kathy.
I love this post. I must say you and Mini-Me have some interesting conversations.

I'd never thought of the use of words in the context of a recipe, but it is totally appropriate. Just like in cooking, once an ingredient (or a word) is added, you can’t take it back. You can try to dig the wrong ingredient (or word) out, but you never get it all, and the result is never quite right. Unlike a recipe, though, when you're talking about relationships with people you can't throw it out and start over. Once the damage is done, it's done.

Good morning, Kathy... I always say be careful what you say and how you say it... words can be like toothpaste... once it's out of the tube, it's very hard to squeeze it back in. Great advice: Words, attitude and intent…careful when you mix them together.

Hi Kathy,

It definitely is a good idea to think about the words that you're planning on saying before you say them!

I stopped reading at "chocolate cake." Really, what can top that?

Good Monday morning, Kathy.

Let's continue to spread love and kindness this week.

Baseball...now that is a favorite words. We have too many people who use words to hurt others. Not Nice!!

Hello Kathy Streib - we not only hear the words - we feel them. Indeed, once a razor tongue lashes out, we cannot take the words back. They cut, and often they cut deep. 

Now, about chocolate cake 🎂??

It isn't always just the words but the manner in which they are delivered as well. Voice tone matters also,

Your entire blog is a great choice of words Kathy Streib . Thank you for writing it.

Hello Kathy,

Your recipe of kindness reminds me of the story of Oliver Twist.

The line “Please, sir, I want some more” from Charles Dickens’s novel Oliver Twist is deeply evocative. It captures the raw desperation in Oliver’s voice as he pleads for more gruel, highlighting his acute hunger and yearning for sustenance. The scene is painted vividly, allowing readers to feel the weight of Oliver’s plight and the chilling reality of his impoverished condition. 

Cute post Kathy.  Make it a great week ahead.  m

Happy Monday Kathy!  And oh it's so true - you can't take back some words or attitudes so don't go there to begin with.  My Mom used to say something like- chose your words carefully and you will thank yourself later.

Kathy those three words would also rank high on the negative scale with me.

The words we use can bring happiness or sadness to those around us and sometimes those words can be misunderstood as well and bring the opposite of what they were intended to bring, haha.

Hi Kathy Streib Last night I had a hankering for Banana Bread so I made three loaves.

Now...after reading your blog...I am hungry for Chocolate Cake.   

Hmmm?  If I wonder if I drizzle some Hershey's Chocolate Syrup on the Banana.......................................................................

I must just have to try that........

Love this! What a great conversation to have with your "mini me". 

Keep making those special memories with her! She is lucky to have you!
