Sometimes the things you don't say scream louder than the things you do. The truth is found in the silence and the spaces between. A shrug, a sigh, a look thrown in disgust. A chance to say something positive - missed. It's heavy and oppressive, this silence. It's judgmental. It takes up more space than necessary Like the air before a storm; heavy, fearful, angry, expectant. Waiting to see what it gives birth to.
Be mindful of your words but be ever aware of your silence.

I always have a hard time saying something encouraging when given the chance. I need to remember to.

Those are very good words to not only remember, but to embrace.
The same can be said for INACTION.

All my mom had to do was give me a certain look and I knew what my punishment was or what she was angry about. Great post and SOOOO true!
