Just remember...that words are powerful, so very powerful, that it can change attitudes (for the better or for the worse), with or without provocation. They can be triggers, reminders, movers, and emotives... Be kind with your words and listen to positive messages in things that we have in common... Communication in the ways that make a positive impact and even possibly profitable (new friendships, good feelings, etc.) for all parties, is the key.
