Words are…
letters put together
in many combinations
allowing us to express ourselves.
Words can…
communicate
love or hate
good or bad
praise or condemnation
hope or fear
joy or grief.
Words can…
teach or destroy
be whispered or shouted
spoken or sung
written or read.
Each day
may the words we choose
be used wisely.
Cheers & Hugs,
Jodi
the creative life in between 
Ameen to that prayer! This is beautiful 😍

Thanks Carol. I’ve had this photo saved for a blog for sometime, and wasn’t sure what I was going to post yesterday. In just five minutes, I thought about words, and this flooded out. Probably not the most profound, but it was what was in my heart yesterday 🙂

I love the power of words. My biggest fear of our new technology is that we will lose the written word, which is different from the spoken word. Both are important, but I do love the written word more…. Thanks for being one of those writers who uses her words to always helps others!

Oh so true. Once spoken can never be taken back, only forgiven (I read that somewhere recently).
