Words, deeds, actions and reactions can and do sometimes have far reaching effects. Word have the power to uplift, brighten someones day and positively impact peoples lives. On the downside the reverse is also true.

Have you ever had a discussion with a friend, neighbour, collegue and found out months later what an impact your words had? Sometimes, what we dismiss as idle chatter can really fill anothers day with a wonderous sense of wellbeing or a deep, hearfelt dispair. We walk off blissfully unaware of either impact, ready to carry on with our lives as usual.

How wonderful is it to find out that something you said positively impacted someone. How hard to undo an off-the-cuff thoughtless word, that months later, the receiver of those words is still paining over.

Be careful how you use and harness the power of the spoken word. The effects can be eternal.

TSUNAMI

Apparently, last night while we were out wine-ing and dining with friends having a merry old time, the East coast of Australia went on high alert for an approaching Tsunami.(Didn't even know that here in the land of Oz we had any kind of alerts for Tsunamis, let alone high ones).

How did I find out about the possible pending doom due to befall some of my children and close family members?On F A C E B O O K...... the next morning. I know technology marches forward, but HEY! a phone call would have been nice!
