Today is Friday, May 9th.
I am going to start of the day with the word of the day & quote of the day. A LITTLE ENCOURAGEMENT IN A WORLD OF HATE, Let's go!
Today's word of the day is " gossip "
//: casual or unconstrained conversation or reports about other people, typically involving details that are not confirmed as being true:
**Quote of the day:
"Gossip is a very dangerous tool. We should be more wary of the gossiper, and not the gossip they're trying to relay to you." - John Lydon
"Gossips are worse than thieves because they steal another person's dignity, honest reputation and credibility…which are challenging to restore. Remember when your tongue slips, you cannot recover your words." - Karen Salmansohn
Why do some gossip? It is been around forever and it needs to stop. We all need to fight gossip & it starts with each of us.
The problem with careless words being tossed about is that they are unheeded, unchecked & without too much thought, regard, or verification of the truth. The trouble with these words that are so often embellished or distorted and very often not even true. They often hurt. They can have a lasting impact and they benefit no one.
IF IT IS NOT YOUR STORY TO TELL, THEN DON'T TELL IT.
By listening to the gossip & not refuting it, you are doing nothing about breaking the cycle. You are quietly accepting what is being told.
NOW I am not talking about friends venting which is sometime necessary to express frustration about a person or a problem, rather than complaining in the heat of the moment. By telling someone whom you trust, you open your problem up to possible solutions. That is completely different then gossiping. We all need that type of support and venting so our top doesn't explode.
Words once flown are swifter than any horse and they cannot be recalled. EVER!
A persons worthiness will be eroded & personal integrity will be questioned. The worst part about being gossiped about is knowing that you weren't WORTH the truth.
It takes a really big person and a hell of a lot of practice, to not respond to the gossip. To not try to prove the gossiper wrong. To just shake it off. Because the gossip hurts. With personal experience in this area it does get easier to just believe in yourself and knowing that your TRUE friends will not believe what is being said & will have the cojones to speak up when the gossiping is happening.
I have been witness to this only once on this platform of somebody actually sticking up for someone whom was being talked about & was not there to refute what was being said. That person was Cue Bella, She basically said, Hey that is my friend and the person I know wouldn't do that. And it stopped right there. The whole conversation turned around. That was all it took. There was no fighting.
AGAIN, IF IT IS NOT YOUR STORY TO TELL - DON'T TELL IT.
RATHER think before you speak, so that your words can settle softly onto the hearts of others…so that you words can build and not break or do harm.

- JUNE is PTSD Awarness Month - "Some wounds are not visible." Our friends over at "A Haven for Heroes," that is what they are about, helping those that help us overcome the wounds they have encountered.
- Ok remember me telling you about McDonald’s Just Releasing a New Shake for Grimace birthday but were not sure what the flavors were. Now we do. Starting June 12th, you can try the Grimace Shake as part of Grimace’s birthday meal deal, which includes your choice of a 10-piece nugget or Big Mac accompanied by a medium French fry and a medium Grimace shake. Right now, we're not sure if the celebration will continue for just the month, or all summer long.
It’s not just a vanilla milkshake with food coloring. The frosty treat is actually a blend of vanilla soft serve and mixed berry flavors.
Grimace’s birthday isn’t the only excitement happening at the burger chain this summer. The Oreo Frappe has made a grand return, and there’s buzz of a Cheesy Jalapeño Bacon Quarter Pounder hitting menus soon.
