We Are Our Actions Not Our Words.

So first and foremost I want to give the disclaimer that I do not want people to take the title of this to be literal to the extent that I need your actions to believe your words.  The purpose of this post is to simply talk through how expression is a powerful communication medium.  

Today I got two care packages in the mail.  A nice blanket from a co-worker and a box of pudding and jello from a close friend.  It has been nice getting packages I will not lie.  Having others show their love and support has been a true blessing.  I have gotten cards and messages as well.  I love getting cards.  It show commitment and intent.  It takes more coordination, energy and effort to write and mail someone a card.  Packages are just an added bonus.  They certainly brighten up my day.  

One of my phrases I have said throughout my adult like has been "We are our actions not our words".  Life is about commitments in general and our ability to keep them.  Education, employment, marriages, mortgages and friendships are just a few examples.  The better our commitment and effort the better the outcomes of these relationships.  Talk can be cheap to some extent, how many of you know someone who will say they are going to do something and they never do it?  So I have always been of the school of thought where actions speak louder than words.  So when you want to be successful in a relationship, put in the effort and show your commitment through actions.  

Now, the expression of words in itself is a action.  One that I still have to master or work on.  I have never been good at expression of my words or my emotions through words.  I would rather show you my love through acts of kindness.  It is my chosen method for communicating my feelings.  So when I receive an act of kindness I value it the most.  

The next two weeks are going to be up and down and a real challenge but I look forward to the support and the love that I will receive and feel.  But someone else you know is going through a hard time as well.  Do something nice for someone this week, lets your actions speak louder than your words.  Remember that were all just doing the best we can in life and we never know what another person is going through.  So just stop and listen.  

I am not looking forward to the next three weeks, but I am look forward to October and being able to put this all behind me.  I need your prayers and your love and support.  And keep your positive vibes coming!!!  I sure do need them.
