“Words are, in my not-so-humble opinion,
our most inexhaustible source of magic.
Capable of both inflicting injury, and remedying it.”
Words are so powerful. You can make someone's day by saying something wonderful, but you can ruin it by saying something hateful.
What's more...you can also ruin someone's day by what you don't say. Have you ever had the thought to say hello, or to write a note, or send a text, or make a phone call to a random person? Have you always followed that thought? I know I haven't. I know that when I do follow those little promptings that I make someone's day by just saying the words, "Hello, I was thinking of you today. How are you?" It is that simple.
I just wanted to use this short blog post to get you, and myself, thinking about what I say, how I say it, and when I say it. There are so many words that I say throughout the day without even thinking about it. My mind thinks it...my mouth says it. There is no filter sometimes. This usually makes for awkward situations on my part...and lots of jokes from my family. Luckily, I do not think any of my hasty talking has ever caused much pain to others...however, I know that it is possible and has happened many times to many people.
Be a source of good magic that remedies injuries throughout the world.
