Words

It is interesting to me how words affect other people, myself included. They can uplift you and keep you going for days or they can bring you down for days. Why is that? Is it not a choice within our selves how we feel inside each day? The human condition is an interesting one for sure. Is is more important how others perceive us than how we perceive ourselves? I have had an interesting last couple weeks and have experienced both the ups and downs from words spoken by others and I pride myself on being able to choose my own emotions. Well apparently not. :) I have been very mindful of my words so that I don't hurt feelings or bring others down, but how many times have I done this without knowing?

Another thing that peeks my interest is the internet voice. When we read the written word on the net it is heard differently by different people. It is viewed from our own windows so to speak. Some will come away with a chipped shoulder and other with a positive response. Very interesting indeed.
