Like water off a duck's back...

This photo is of a picture taken by my Uncle Chuck Sutley many years ago and was a gift to us. It now hangs in our office/shop combo room over the computer.

So as I am sitting here pondering which simply inspired thought to share today (giggle) I look up and ... you guessed it...

Thank you, Uncle Chuck, for the inspiration for today's post...:-)

I was reading over at Gathering of Friends today

(see the link in sidebar)

and was prompted to think about

what I obsess over.

It is the need to constantly review

every conversation and rethink

everything I have said to find a way

to wonder how someone took

what was said.

Could I have inadvertantly

hurt someone's feelings?

Did they understand what I was

really trying to say?

You see...

my poor husband is so tired

of this horrible trait that I

have made a new resolution!

I "know", in my head, that to think

that everyone I talk to is sitting

around thinking about me after

I leave is absolutely nuts.

Do I critique their every word?

Of course not!

So, why then, do I think that they are

doing this to my every word?

...Guess it must be insecurity.

Well, I am a daughter of God and

as such am not in the business of

going around offending people purposely.

So...as of today...

my own words are going to roll

off my own tired brain like

"water off a duck's back".

There are more important

things to focus on...

...Next!
