"I have come to the frightening conclusion that I am the decisive element. It is my personal approach that creates the climate. It is my daily mood that makes the weather. I possess tremendous power to make a life miserable or joyous. I can be a tool of torture, or an instrument of inspiration. I can humiliate or humor, hurt or heal. In all situations, it is my response that decides whether a crisis will be escalated or de-escalated and a person humanized or dehumanized. If we treat people as they are, we make them worse. If we treat people as they ought to be, we help them become what they are capable of becoming."
~Goethe~
Do not let any unwholesome talk come out of your mouths, but only what is helpful for building up others according to their needs, that it may benefit those who listen.

Hi Kat! What a great post. I think everyone should read and live by it. Thanks for keeping an eye out for that curtain. Hope I find the mother load so I can share with all of my frinds~
Ugh. As I was reading this, I was hollering at Kiddo to get his stuff out of the living room. Being sick has made me VERY testy, and I'm in a constant bad mood. I hate it for him, because he's the one that gets the brunt of it. Pray for me, my friend. I'm really, really tired of being sick.
