You Might Need to use Your Thumbs!

We’ve heard it a million times, “actions speak louder than words”. And while I do agree with that quote, there is something to be said about words. Often the “action” is in presenting the words!

We have so many ways to express our sentiments. We can text, Facebook, instagram, twitter…and not have to verbally say a thing; one doesn’t even have to pick up the phone or make a visit.

You may understand, you may not. Either way is ok, because I am not sure that I understand. Continue reading Rough Days and Wall Shadows… →
