Most people believe that there is great power in a word but maybe there is a far greater power in silence. In the world we live today you are considered a strong person if you stand up and speak your mind yet as a child you are taught that it may be best to listen and comprehend what is being said. You are told that actions speak louder than words. I am not saying that words do not have power I’m saying it is who, how, when, and where it is said. If I say it smells like flowers at the dump those words don’t carry that much power if any at all. Yet just saying a simple “I do” is some of the words some wait to hear for there whole life.
In a personal experience, as I was a kid I would tell my mom that I would not follow in my brothers footsteps that I would never get locked up that I would stay there and help her. Well I got in some trouble and sent to lock up. It hurt my mom so much she did not talk to me I would write her, call her, and try to get her to visit me but she did not talk to me it was easer for her to not talk to me yet her not talking to me was one of the hardest things I have ever had to deal with.

I would have to agree wit ya matt. sometimes one of the most powerfulest thing we can say or do is to say nothing at all. I really like how I can see what your saying in your blog. really good organization. keep up the good work;)
I completely agree with you that our actions speak louder than words. We are communicating so much more powerfully through our actions than what we say. People are watching us all of the time, even when we aren't speaking.
*i dont know you did good
*when you write its very intersing to read...
*its true what you say..
i totally agree with you im somewhat a quiet person and silence is golden to me. but sometimes you need the talkative people to talk.
