Layers of disappointment, deceit, and dubious inaction continue to deepen. Daily we struggle, surfacing occasionally from the torment of one issue or another, only to find ourselves facing yet another challenge. And still, we keep moving forward. Our lives, as always, do not follow a singular path and are strengthened by the trials and tests we face every damn day.
Language: diction, dialect, pronunciation, enunciation, attitude and awareness, often impedes communication. Speech is not always simple; the meanings of things and recognition of such often compounds the difficulties of speaking freely, or even telling the truth. Pay less attention the words and focus more on what they are worth. Freedom of speech does come with a cost.
Whatever the occasion, communication flows in many directions. February is International Correspondence Writing Month, an opportunity to take the tradition of pen, pencil, and paper, and send a letter (or three). It’s all about expression. A letter sent to a family member or friend, is sure to surprise. Less and less do we address our thoughts, ideas, and feelings in a letter. Yes, emails are quick and easy, but are we really saying what we need to say? Electronic communication is so everyday. Say something special in a more tangible way.
