The Value of Words

Have you ever been to the ocean and written something in the sand? I have. When I wrote in the hard packed sand, the waves came and washed my words away. When I wrote in the soft sand, the winds came and blew my words away. I did not care because none of those words were significant. They did not have value.

I want the words I send out into the world to have value. I want them to touch your heart so you feel what I am saying. Or to touch your mind so you think you’d like to remember them. Or to make you laugh so you feel less stress and more joy.

As a minimalist, I try to get rid of the excess in my life to make room for those things and experiences that are important to me. To put words out here just to say anything adds to the clutter of the world. Not much in my life recently has given me the type of words I prefer to write as I simply focus on rest and recovery. I will write more when words worth sharing come to me. Even if it is just to make you laugh.

TTYL,

Linda

  1. I’ve always thought your words have value. I hope you will continue to write. And also hope you are OK. Keep us posted!

  2. You know I’ll be here to read whatever words you want to share whenever you want to share them. Just take care of you.

  3. I’m a follower of you and those words you care to share! You’re good with words so when you’re ready, I am too. Take care and get better.

  4. Rest, recover and when your ready to write those words, I’ll be there to read them.

  5. Best to write when you WANT to write.

    Words for the sake of words are just more noise.

    Then again, sometimes, words for the sake of your own sanity are well worth their own effort but come from a very different place — which I why I have posts tagged private that never see the light of public eyes.

    Cheers.
