Mind Your Words

It took just this last string of insensitive remarks from a Republican Senator to push one undecided, but almost positive that she would vote Republican to jump ship and place her early vote today to keep our President in office. Thank you Mr. Republican for not minding your words. Watching what you say or better yet how you say it is important in all situations. Frequently we use the phrase don't sugar coat it, why not? I'm not saying don't speak your truth or not to voice your opinion but tone and manner are just as important as verbage. Expressions and gestures tell a person a lot and eye contact seals the deal. You don't have to appear rude, nor scream and holler to express yourself. Most people stop listening at that point anyway. Have you ever heard the expression kill them with kindness? This works both ways; you achieve the desired effect and you save yourself stress, anguish and headache all by speaking nice. No need to come out of character to get your point across. And trust me kiss my ass still means kiss my ass whether you say it nice or nasty.
