I haven't been here in a while, I think that may be because happiness is abound or it may be that I am lazy.  Let's go with the first one.

As I get older I realize telling the truth, while it has always been my thing, may be the thing that does me in. I agree that the truth can be shared in a less blunt, in your face, like a bag of bricks experience but I never was that gentle. So in my wiser older years I am going to try to be more gentle with others. At least with the ones who deserve it. Of course that is based on my personal declaration of who is kind and who is not and my brutal honesty will be required for that task. Always a loophole....
