Open Mouth. Insert Foot.

There are times that I think that I should just have a mouthectomy.  It's a couple of problems, really.  One, I can simply just say what I should not.  Whether it's rude or mean or whatever.  Or, I can think that I'm saying what I mean but it is received in a totally different manner.  I must learn to think more.  I try to.  I think that my mind is really struggling with so much right now that perhaps I am not doing a very good job of filtering.  Of being careful to be kind.  Of being wise.  Not sure exactly what it is, but I seem to be on a roll this last week.
Maybe it's the pendulum swinging.  Don't share at all to share too much....and hopefully, eventually, it will end up balanced again.  I want to be balanced. :)
Strangely, as I've entered a time of wanting to try not to apologize so much, I find myself with genuine reasons to truly apologize.  So, I guess I should amend my goal...don't apologize for simply "being".  I should still apologize for being obtuse, unkind or completely dense. 
Hope that you are remembering that you are prayed for.  Thought about.  Though I do not know your names.  Though I do not know your stories.  I care.  Because I know that if you come here to read...then you are hurting and trying to find others who understand.  Be blessed.
grace to you.
