I never thought I'd

Enjoy anything put out by Glenn Beck (frankly I don't listen to him, he's just to caustic IMO) so I don't know how much I'd agree or not with anything he says. That said....

This morning a facebook friend commented on a video - it caught my eye in the corner of my screen, who knows why, and even more strange curiosity got the better of me and I clicked and spent 10 minutes watching & weeping. I really need to write a blog post (soon I hope) about our experience with Dan having 1 paralyzed vocal cord just what an impact that had on our lives, but until then... watch this:



It was a much needed reminder to me today (and probably more days than not) that I need to choose my words carefully. Make sure they are the kind of words I really want put out there. This is not something easy for me - it's easy for me to react, often with more passion than I'd like (yes, my version of a positive spin on having a short fuse more often than I'd like to admit to).

So I'm taking this reminder to heart today, and hopefully tomorrow and countless days after to make the things I say worth hearing and to make them words of love, forgiveness, understanding.

I am grateful for second chances (and third and fourth and fifth and...) to start anew to be a better me. The me I really want to be.

  2. You are extremely kind in your judgments of others and such a great mother. How is Dan feeling today? I would like to hear his story.
