I'm exhausted. I have started my blog post at least 10 times today. I have so much to say. I have been so aggravated at my fellow Americans. I have been so mad at the News Media. I have been so frustrated with my Facebook Friends. I have wanted to lash out, speak out, make people listen - understand - I wanted to PROVE SOMETHING.
And I finally realized something late this afternoon - sometimes I need to WAIT and THINK before I express my opinion. The very thing I was getting aggravated by - people spouting their opinions as soon as the Casey Anthony Trial verdict was read - was basically what I was trying to do on this blog. I watched the trial so I could voice an informed opinion....and instead I was going to knee-jerk and start telling people how wrong they were.
So I will wait. And I will think. And I will form my opinion in a mature fashion. And if I still believe that I have something to say that will benefit someone else, I will share it. But today I have learned a wonderful lesson. It is better to speak softly and be heard than to yell and be disregarded.
See you tomorrow!
