    • I think about the consequences of opening my mouth & weigh them against the burden of saying nothing. If it has the potential to hurt someone, I keep it locked in the Nope folder. There’s a lot of insight in this one. That cautionary note…think before you speak…is never out of date, my friend

    • Learning to “read the room” is such a great line, and your last is filled with wisdom. We live and we learn as we go learning from our past mistakes and learning from others.

    The ballroom music softly filled my head.And figures appeared before my hand.Classy gowns,upside down frowns. And fancy clothes all around.A ballroom dance,newfound romance.Is what my heart remembers and found. Once upon a December,I remember it well.I was going there,near my wishing...
