"Peace is not the absence of demand, disturbance, suffering, it is the presence of good will." Sister Genevieve Glen
When I was a young mother, it occurred to me that the atmosphere in the home was dependent upon the person most in the home, and at that time, that was me. Of course, those people coming into and out of a home also affect the atmosphere, but as the host or hostess of the home, we can set an atmosphere of utter respect, peace, calmness and good will. Part of that peace is the elimination of any negative talk. Negative talk is very draining on the spirit. Negative thoughts are draining on the person who has them, but negative talk is draining upon the whole atmosphere -- and it must not be tolerated when the focus is on good mental health. Negative talk is toxic to all within earshot. Let us commit to eliminating negative thoughts and even more importantly, negative talk.
