Think Before You Speak...

I am a bit late posting the April calendar picture. A good reminder for all of us who write blogs. Perhaps I shouldn't have ranted quite so much recently!

    1. I guess it is the way we vent that matters

  2. Thank you Angela. I needed this reminder as recently I am ashamed to say I have been nagging/encouraging my husband (who has Parkinson’s) to do things that really he just cannot do anymore. I need to slow down, go at his pace and not worry if everything takes longer. It’s quality not quantity, after all none of us is getting any younger. I hope the parcel with the insufficient stamps was worth all the angst? I spent the day decorating yesterday and my husband was the most brilliant support keeping me fed and watered and even taping my blisters! True love indeed. Sarah in Sussex

    1. The parcel WAS a birthday gift. it's hard sometimes to accept we are all getting older, and be a little impatient with our loved ones when things seem to take longer. But it sounds like you two are still very much in love, and that's what matters

  3. A very good maxim to follow but sometimes a rant or two helps our blood pressure! 😠 Regards Sue H

  4. I don't think you've been ranting, Ang. I think you've been real and honest. That's why I love coming here. There's nothing bland and beige about your blog. That's my few words and I'm sticking to them!

  8. As my Gran used to say if you can't say anything nice, don't say anything. Have a good week. Xx

  9. I'm reminded of something I once read (and there are variations) - "Lord, make my words gracious and tender, for tomorrow I may have to eat them!"

  10. Your rants are as interesting as your organized posts. That’s life! May our gracious Lord continue to guide and direct you.

  11. I don't think you were overly ranting- merely sharing that things were difficult or frustrating! Now, I do WAAAY too much ranting!!

  12. Your rants are never vicious - just forcefully stating your opinion! Love FD xx

    1. A little too forceful sometimes though...

  13. Lord, keep your arm over my shoulder and your hand over my mouth.
    I need to remember that saying. :)
