I was tagged to a meme by WW. This meme asks for a proverb. So here’s mine, which is either a bad poem or a good proverb or both.
.
A careless word may kindle strife.
A cruel word may wreck a life.
A timely word may level stress.
A loving word may heal and bless.
-Anon.

And now I’m taking a holiday from memes. My meme-maker is on “off” until further notice, probably after the first of the year.

I know what you mean about the meme things Helen. They can be fun but one can reach meme overload.

Thank you Helen. I’m not offended by the meme holiday. In fact, the pet blogging community goes way overboard, which is why I finally chose humans to tag.
Who is S. Scott Whitaker…..Whitaker is my last name. I must look him up.
