Speak No Evil

As Thanksgiving draws near, energy rises with anticipation and excitement. Work slows down, and the grocery stores fill up. It can be a tense time, so we need to pace ourselves. Most of us are planning to spend the holiday with family and friends that we have waited a long time to see. It's not always easy being together, and sometimes evil words can be spoken. Before you speak, let your words pass through three gates:

Is it true?

Is it necessary?

Is it kind?

If you can't answer yes to each of these, then hold your tongue. Take a breath, pause, and then speak. Or not. Sometimes, actions speak louder than words.

Happy Thanksgiving to one and all!

Peace and Love,

Skylark
