Is This Too Much?

How much is enough? When is it too much? Just how much do you need? Self regulation is one thing. Trying to regulate for someone else is a whole different matter. We try to feed our babies enough and hope we don’t over feed them. We wish for them to grow healthy and strong. In the same manner we may become responsible to regulate the diet for an elderly person. Too much water for a heart patient can be deadly. Too little water can cause dehydration and electrolyte imbalance. It’s a balancing act always. In the same manner there is a time when we need to say something…..enough….not too much…just what needs said. It’s easy to blow relationships up with our mouth. I know this first hand from many circumstances when I said nothing when I should have said something, too much and over shared, and even just right occasionally. Whatever the case, I hope to never destroy relationships with my mouth.

Well here I am writing again. Perhaps too soon. But maybe not. I don’t know. I’ll just leave it there. My self regulation needs improvement. I’m learning though. I managed to drop 30 pounds since my retirement day. Being mindful of what goes in my mouth is just as important as what comes out of it!
