❣Actions speak louder than words ❣Be honest. Tell the truth ❣Carry yourself like a lady Mom always seemed so calm. Her silence could speak volumes if something was amiss. Mom told it like it was, period. Her bottom line focused on her behaviors and those behaviors occurring under her roof. Her example taught that love and decency didn’t boil down to finances or gadgets. Mom didn’t rely on emotional outbursts or a stream of obscenities to make a point. I remind myself of my ‘slightly altered’ overcoat - more and more these days. ❣Actions speak louder than words. Listen for what is not being said. Know the limits of your promised actions. ❣Be honest. Tell the truth if you are asked. Understand that not everyone is asking, or ready for the truth. ❣Carry yourself like a lady and a professional. It’s OK to walk away - in fact, it’s preferable.
No matter the issue, we need to tease out our accountability for and the amount of control we have in the resolution/resultant coping with the situation. All the while, we need to remember to own our role and to allow others to own theirs. I welcome your thoughts in the comment section if you are so inclined. And I promise, for the most part, to just listen. 😊 ShoutOutsUntil next week, sending hugs and peace,
mar

Maria...This short tidbit packs a WALLOP! No need for me to explain "why," I'm certain. Still the l-o-n-g-winded emails continue (although going to my spam folder, for all the good that does!) I am maintaining, GF.
