Words

Good morning! Monday and Tuesday blog! I am sorry I did not get it done yesterday! I do feel amiss if I don’t! I did have a busy day yesterday! We have 3 family members born on the 8th! My dad, who has been gone 13 years, my only girl cousin, on my moms side, she is my dads Goddaughter! And then, our beautiful Marleigh girl/ granddaughter, turned 14! Early yesterday, I did pies! So, pie delivery and a visit! Back home, I started this poem, prior to our B-day dinner with family, for our special girl! I soooo love being out with our family! I did not get it done! But, sitting and watching my family interact with one another, I love the laughter and smiles on their faces! I started thinking about words as they come rolling off of our tongues so quickly! I am guilty on both ends! I don’t want to be! I do appreciate, if it is brought to my attention! There was a time when it would have insulted me! If a person never brings it to your attention, how are we going to learn! It can be done lovingly! My daughter has shown me that! You are never to old to learn! Saying, I am set in my ways, to old to change now, to much! Excuses to say whatever you want without thinking, is cruel! I want it brought to my attention! I never want to stop evolving in some area! I am a firm believer, an old dog can be taught new tricks! If they pay attention! I am going to share something, without going into great detail! Our beautiful granddaughter who turned 14 yesterday, was in a rollover car crash, Sunday the day before, on the Turnpike! All 4 people walked away! In my mind, that is a miracle! Thank you Jesus! I am not sharing this for comments! It’s a praise! But, it is also a what if, I never had a chance again, to say, I love, you are beautiful, you are such a gift, Happy Birthday! All loving gifts of words, words that build up, not tear down! Do not wait until an accident, to say all of the right things, that we all want to hear! Last evening, every time I looked at her, I breathed a prayer of thanks! But also, she had a big smile all evening! I believe, she was thankful! Sooooo let’s think before we open our mouths, what if I never…………..God bless you and your words!❤️🤗🤗❤️
