Patty Griffin always has amazing songs. She has one called Long Ride Home. Cameron Crowe used it in his movie Elizabethtown. The song is about a man riding home from his wife's funeral. There's a line in the song... "How hard would it have been to say some kinder words instead." The line reminds us of what we were told as children "If you don't have anything nice to say don't say anything at all." Okay then you grow up and well easier said then done. I've had some harsh things said about me and I've said some harsh things in the heat of the moment that I can never take back. I'm still learning how to live life. After all there is no owners manuel. The habit for me is to say the kinder words.
When was the last time someone said Kinder words to you? When was the last time you spoke kind words?
Here's what I got recently.. "Angela, you never find ways to stop helping people, do you?." This was spoken to me by a fellow crew member at Ozzfest after offering to print his boarding pass. It took sometime for it to sink in but when it did it really made me smile *Thanks Stew!
