Do you ever discover that when you do things or say things that you feel you really need to it ends up being the completely wrong thing you should do or say?
Monday I felt a need to say something to someone who is the most important person in my life. No sooner than I hit the send key that I regretted most of what I wrote. It wasn't that what I said wasn't true or that it was mean or spiteful it's just that I should have kept what I said to myself.
What I said wasn't going to change anything, it was selfish of me to spew out what was in my head.
There are times that I get carried away and feel that I am wise and need to share what is in my head and that those who will hear or read it will the better for it. Trust me I don't think I'm all that, if anything I think just the opposite about myself but there are moments where self importance comes over me and before I know it I've stepped in a huge steamy pile of poop!
Oh well, that is what makes us all humans right? If we didn't step in it once in a while we wouldn't learn anything about ourselves or others.
Luckily the person I unloaded on is the most beautiful, smart, funny, loving person I know, my best friend in the whole wide world. She knows me better than anyone and luckily for me loves despite all my shortcomings.
So, the moral of this is, if you think someone really needs to hear what you have to say on a subject stop and think about it. Pray on it if your not sure.
Words are forever, once they are said you can never take them back.
Keep smiling and know that God loves you and so do I.
