Listen UP.
Posted by PaulAug 23
Do you ever just stop and listen to what you’ve just said?
I don’t do it often enough.
Seriously, it’s a problem, and affliction, a near disorder.
Things just fly out of my mouth sometimes and seconds later…I want to reel them back in, I wish I had just shut UP.
Seemingly harmless at the time, sometimes, someone, somewhere is taken aback, offended if you will.
But, it’s too late.
That’s why blogging is better…editing, editing, editing!
So, if I’m quiet today, this Monday morning, nothing’s wrong…I’m just weighing my words.
Have a great Monday!

Ha, yes…unfortunately, sometimes the seemingly unoffensive comments can be taken the wrong way.

Good policy! Whenever I have a point to make or a conflict to respond to, I like to respond in writing – not because I am a wuss, but because I am much better at measuring my words when I write them down, much better at controlling myself and not saying things I might regret.

*sigh* only if all people would take heed.
