I'm starting to think that Ben may have put these in a particular order for a reason. Is it coincidence that I had trouble biting my tongue last month and now that is exactly the goal? Doubtful. Trivial conversation? Sometimes a bit of trivial conversation would be nice actually.... But the first part -- speak not but what may benefit others or yourself .... -- that is wise and difficult and should reap some pretty hefty rewards in the marriage department. Ok, to work!

Although I was alone with my thoughts a lot this month, they were fleeting moments -- it terms of busy-ness, life interference and sheer workload this was the noisiest month I've had for a very long time. Knowing Silence was my theme did keep me in check a bit -- remembering how important it is to create a calm space, that the degree to which one is capable of exercising silence is in direct proportion to the amount of silence one cultivates away from the flurry and scurry of life.
I have failed pretty well on the silence assisting marriage front -- apparently I've been saying chippy things and undervaluing my husband.
So I have A LOT more work to do on this. I hope next time I come to tackle it I have a less stressful month!
