Boy can I identify with this!!!!! Lately though it seems many people have forgotten what my mama always taught us: If you can't say something nice, don't say anything at all. Even our country's leaders can do nothing but spout hatred. Seems like so many have forgotten how to be civil. OK...better get off this soapbox!!!! Thank you so much for stopping by my blog and leaving some love/a heart:) Always appreciated.
This made me smile. Reminds me of what I used to tell my Sunday school students for many years... with a tip of the hat to Thumper from the movie "Bambi": "If ya can't say something nice, don't say nuthin at all."
But sometimes it gets tiring holding it all in and I let all of those horrible words explode at once. Those aren't my finest moments, but you can only hold your tongue for so long.
I don´t believe you can´t say anything nice...
ReplyDeleteHave a great weekend.
Hugs.
Very wise words, sometimes it´s the best advice!

ReplyDeleteHay un proverbio español, que dice: cada persona es dueña de su silencio y esclavo de su palabra.
ReplyDeleteUn saludo.
I am going to embroider that on a pillow.
ReplyDeleteBeing mute is sometimes necessary. Words spoken in haste cannot always be retracted.
ReplyDeleteDas klingt so unendlich traurig. LG Romy
ReplyDeleteIn some situations, silence is the best way to go.
ReplyDeleteGià hai proprio ragione, quando non si ha nulla di intelligente da dire è meglio optare per il silenzio.
ReplyDeleteWise words!
ReplyDeleteTruth.
ReplyDeleteDearest Regine,
ReplyDeleteA lot can be conveyed, while being silent...

ReplyDeleteA great point!
ReplyDeleteIt's true..
ReplyDeleteSon nice words...
Well said
ReplyDeleteSometimes, silence speaks volumes, doesn't it?
ReplyDeleteWe would all do well to be silent more often.
ReplyDeleteI love this! Sometimes I tell my family...."I have used up all my nice! Wait until tomorrow to talk to me."
ReplyDeleteBut sometimes it gets tiring holding it all in and I let all of those horrible words explode at once. Those aren't my finest moments, but you can only hold your tongue for so long.
ReplyDeleteA very gracious way to hold your peace, indeed. Blessings!
ReplyDeleteAveces es mejor callar...... Saludos.
ReplyDeleteBeautifully expressed Regine
ReplyDeleteStay safe
