What about when you say too much? Thinking that you know someone and knowing that in the long run they need to hear what you have too say. Do they? from you? Who is to say that you have to be the one to say? Who gave you that privilege? When does it border on critical or just one of those things that you have noticed and you want the other party to be aware of.
Do we even have the right to let our little observation be known? If we are true to the friendship, I think we do. Constructive criticism if you will. What one sees looking on the side line. Making one be aware of the not so obvious.
Yea for me, criticism hard for me to handle but if I ponder long enough and consider the source in which it came~need to evaluate it. We all want to be better, look better and feel better. If someone who loves you see something worth taking a look~don't we owe that to them? I think so.
Oh much more pondering...

Sometimes it takes a true friend to tell another that they have a booger showing. i deeply appreciated it. you really care. thanks again. i would and will do the same for you! (wink)
Words spoken with care from the heart always matter, even if the content is not liked. It's all in the delivery...
Hey, Lifes a Beach and then we die. It wouldn't be life without a foot in the mouth, it teaches us when to reveal, but awareness of foot in mouth is the greatest awareness...all you can do is apologize and move on, but only if you truly mean it. That doesn't erase it, that's the problem, you can't erase the words that have been spoken sometimes your words, sometimes someone elses. Always, Always, consider the source.
