This phrase has been a part of my life for a long time and maybe its time I start listening.
There are people who are thrilled to hear my new motto, but it makes me feel a little dead inside. It makes me feel sad. I'm reading a book right now called Speak and on page 122 I read this tonight:
"When people don't express themselves, they die one piece at a time. You'd be shocked at how many adults are really dead inside - walking through their days with no idea who they are, just waiting for a heart attack or cancer or a Mack truck to come along and finish the job. It's the saddest thing I know."
Maybe the last two months have been too much. Maybe I've been surrounded by sadness. Maybe it is time to keep my mouth shut for a while and see where my new found silence takes me.
So, if I seem a little quiet next time we visit I'm trying something new.
