Song birds or wrong words?

Words Represent Us

Every word that we say is like an ambassador into our world. Positive words make us ambassadors for harmony. Critical words make us ambassadors for friction.

Birds Return To Roost

Words are like homing pigeons. When you send one out, it will come back to you. Send out words of friendship, and friendship will fly, soar, glide back to you. Send out words of discontent, and discontent will flap its wings back to dive bomb you.

Daisy Daily Plan

Watch what birds you are sending out. Are your words vultures? Owls? Hawks? Peacocks? Doves?

At then end of the day, list three things you have said and write down a bird that represents those words. It is a fun and telling activity.

Remind yourself throughout the day that you will be doing this at day’s end and you will find yourself more care-full about what you say.

You will likely laugh a lot, too.

“Uh, oh, a vulture just flew out of my mouth.” Umm, that is a very nice dove I just uttered.” Play with it. Maybe dispatch a bluebird of happiness or two.

And please have an Upsy Daisy Day!

Yours in the spirit of laughter, joy, and songbirds,
