I can take things back to the store and request a refund. If I order something online and don’t like it, I can send it back for a refund. An angry or shaming word or comment can never be taken back. Once they are set free, they are heat seeking missiles determined to injure and destroy. Nothing good comes from it. The language we use determines if our interaction will be fruitful or destructive.
I am an optimistic, can do, and never quit guy. The spirit of hope indelibly marks my DNA. My research at The Ohio State University helped people discover the best in themselves and change their personal lives, public organizations, and whole communities. I bring the same spirit and enthusiasm to my blog to help those who grieve who find themselves suddenly alone, navigate their grieving. Join my more than 24,300Twitter (@alwaysgoodstuff). I promise my tweets are always good stuff. Please feel free to email me at ray.brese@gmail.com.
