Good comments.

I am enjoying the new bread Carol brought me from Super Store.

Dad forgets when the hockey is coming on so good Ken phoned to tell us it was a disappointing game.  Once we started watching it had improved.  It ended with the Canucks winning 3 to 2 in over time.

I am reminded that I am learning to focus on the present.
The day may begin hopefully but small problems can change our mood.
It does not take long before we feel nothing is going right.

"We are meant to take what is before us and build on it
bring the present into bloom again."
-Corrine De Winter

"We  live in an ocean of Words but like a fish in water we may not be aware of it."
Staurt Chase.

 I often talk without thinking first.
I want to encourage others to use words that celebrate and affirm life.  

"The instruments of both life and death are contained within the power of the tongue."
Proverbs 18:21

Every word we think and hear can influence our behavior.

"Life and language are alike sacred."
-  Oliver Wendal Holmes.

"Each present moment holds the key
to connecting the divine and our awareness of the divinity 
within each of us,
Rabbi Dr. Benjamin Epstein, Ph.D.

It is wonderful to be able to talk and express our thoughts,

I wonder about thinking before speaking. I mean, should it such a need that it impedes natural conversation? If words are spoken which reveal a persons thoughts then even if those are not "good" thoughts then isn't it an opportunity for discourse on the subject? Why keep everything bottled up and hide what we think all the time?
