Civility and Decorum

I have intentionally not "gone political" in my blog postings of the past 93 days as I do not want to incite back and forth tyrades.  Simply does not fit within my intentions.

I saw this photo on someone's FB feed today, and my response was "peace."  Then I added something to the effect of "we need a comeback of civility and decorum."  Things that have been so lacking in this particular election season, on both sides.  We need to seek ways to LISTEN to one another.  Hear another's viewpoint.  We learn from one another that way.

Walked this morning with a dear lovely friend and discovered we were in disagreement on a social issue.  Did not launch into finger pointing or name calling, but rather had thoughtful discussion of how and why we each came to our understanding of the issue.

This, I believe, is how bridges are built.  How peace is found.  How wars are prevented.  And how love is engaged into daily life.

Just my thought.  You needn't agree.

Civility and Decorum  Look it up.  Oh, what the heck... I'll provide the links below for you.

Drop the F word from your language (yes, even my Boston friends.).  Choose words that uplift rather than tear down.  Think before you speak.  Or take it a step further if you dare and pray before you speak.  Ask for words that will enlighten rather than degrade.

Want to join the movement?  What movement, you ask?  My movement of one... toward the return of civility and decorum.  Kinda like the 'random acts of kindness thing' - but with words, and listening.
