Only words

What others say to us and what we say to others can last a long time, for good or for evil. The casual sarcastic or critical remark can inflict a lasting injury on another person. The well-timed encouragement or compliment can inspire someone for the rest of their life.

~ David Guzik

This is terrifying.

And true.

And we don't know which of our words will be quickly forgotten, and which will have a lasting effect.

Lord, set up a guard for my mouth; keep watch at the door of my lips.

Caffeine

No caffeine for an entire month! 😯
Wonder how long I can keep this up.

Expensive design?

If I were to spend considerably more than my year's income on a watch, I would want the text on its face to be somewhat more professionally designed than what looks like Zapf Chancery (a ubiquitous off-the-peg font) set in all caps (which swash capitals should not be).

Wood 🌳🌲🌳🌲🌳 Tree 🌳

It's not good to be unable to see the wood for the trees.

But nor is it good to be unable to see the trees for the wood.

A balance is necessary.
 
(I tend to lean towards the former, I suspect)
