You know how they say there is power in words...words mean a lot...choose your words wisely for they may come back to bite you...once you say it you can't get it back...blah blah blah. Blogging, so often especially, makes one think about words. Mark and I even use word choice as a criterion for joke-quality...if there is an efficient use of words then it may make the joke funnier.
But I'm also wondering about the power of word timing, who the words are spoken to, or (even more telling perhaps) who the words are *not* spoken to. You know what I mean? Those things that you think need to be spoken...but you're not sure IF they should be spoken...and if you do speak them who do you speak them to? Because again...once they're out there you can't take them back. *I know this is sounding very convoluted...refer to the "Choices" post from a few weeks ago...this post was precipitated by something but I'm not going to get specific so it's no use trying to figure out the underlying meaning :-)*
Tonight I'm wondering if there are times we feel burdened by info we have and a way to release that burden is sharing said info...only we chicken out and share it with someone who it's easy to share with. In some cases, convincing ourselves that our choice is the right thing to do. When in reality the right thing to do would be to shift who the words are spoken to or not speaking them at all. Yet...now you have shared that info so your burden is TOTALLY taken care of. You've kind of let yourself off the hook of the really difficult thing to say because you've said it...just not to the right person.
This is what I'm wondering about lately :-)
My photo of the day...btw...is of me and our three dogs on the couch. But I still need to load it off my camera...so TO BE CONTINUED :-)
P.S. *patting herself on the back* when I clicked the spell check it came back with "no mis-spellings found"...YAY me :-)
