So when we come across each other,

Should we fight?

Or should we shake hands, rub elbows, and say to each other:

Let's respect each other's differences in ideas, thoughts, and desires.

And let's continue to build on common ground.

__

That's the thought I would like to leave you with today.

Words so vibrant, they draw people towards us, and attract

Words so turning off, they repel people from us, and detract.

Words, words, words.

Dear reader, where do you look for the words to guide you?

Who, or what do you look to, for words to inspire you?

__

Choose wisely, my dear friend.

__

The quality of your thoughts and actions

Your relationships, and your life satisfaction

Starts with the words you think in.

And the words you say.

And the words you act upon.

Choose wisely, my dear friend.
