Time Out For Grown Ups




Time out for grown ups. Unheard of; it doesn't happen. When did it become acceptable to leave all accountability at the door when exiting childhood? When did it become common to use ugly words in hateful ways, to purposefully inflict pain and humiliation on others?

When did honor become something so forgotten that it would  be more likely to dig it up as an archaeological find than to be evident in the lives of men?

I didn't look at my watch to note the day or the hour, but it happened just the same. Whatever has become of us? This is the time to turn from these habits and begin afresh and new, to hold ourselves accountable for bad behavior and moments absent of good judgement.

If necessary, find a corner of quiet and think it through. Is it still not the best course to act with honor, speak with honesty, stand with truth, move in love, react with laughter, a smile and an extra positive attitude, attitude, attitude?
