Hello all this is Opie signing in again.............................
I have come to realize that the tongue, being one of the smallest muscles in your body has a way to really offend people. Being that is said, it is sad to say that people often take what you say out of context. Sometimes when saying something in a way, it turns into something that it should not be. I have encountered this a few times in recent months. At the same time apologies were sent to those of whom I offended, I don't know if that holds much water. I am not perfect by any means and with that I say things, as we all do, in a joking manner. But I have learned that it is not always a joke with people that are around.
I say this......I am a man that has through many trying times, as we all have, but with that I have learned that sometimes it is necessary to joke around about serious issues. Just to take the stress out of life so to speak. It upsets me terribly to know that someone was upset about something that I said. I guess people don't really know me as who I am. I am not going to sit here and walk on egg shells around everyone. I speak my mind on most things when it is time to be serious. But other times I am just trying to get through the day and if that means that I joke about something then that is what I do.
We all have many things in life that we take to heart and that is great to do. At the same time I say ease up and enjoy the company that you have around you. Life is entirely to short to worry about all these things. Laughter is the best medicine!
