Knowing When To Shut Up

Lately I’ve been craving silence.

Silence in my surroundings and silence in my own internal world.

The craziness of the world between politics and Covid and everything else, has generated so much noise, especially the noise of my opinions and everyone else’s.

The other day I saw these words on Instagram (@buddha.says) that blew me away:

“Open Your Mouth Only If What You Are Going To
Say Is More Beautiful Than Silence.”

As much as I love hearing myself talk and deliver my opinions on just about everything, I am now ready to talk a whole lot less and seek more silence. And, I will do my best to remember to make the words I do speak more loving, more kind, and more beautiful.

Wishing you love, laughter and magical kisses,
