I am really trying to focus on the below.I thought this would be easy....but now that I am more mindful of it
....I see where my words are not always kind. I am trying though.
Namaste, Michele

I hope he got word how grateful I am that he was there to help.
Even if you are “just joking,” speaking ill of other people
feeds a dynamic of hurt and nastiness which cannot nourish your spirit.
Laughing at the expense of others,
especially those who may be suffering or worse off than we are,
is truly a sad state of affairs.
When pressed, most of us would instantly retract such statements,
and sincerely regret any hurt that was caused.
Ideally, we will discipline ourselves to speak in such a way that if someone quotes us tomorrow, we will feel no shame or regret.
This includes eliminating gossip and nasty,
petty commentary regarding the appearance or actions of others.
