“Nothing haunts us like the things we don’t say.”
American author, journalist, and screenwriter
Mitch Albom
How many times have you, after the fact, thought of the perfect thing to have said in the situation or under the circumstances but didn’t say it when you had the chance?
Or how many relationships have you screwed up not because of the things you said, but because of the things you didn’t say?
Written for Linda G. Hill’s One-Liner Wednesday prompt, which doubles as today’s Just Jot It January (JusJoJan) prompt.
This, That, and the Other 
In my case I would think of the perfect response/ comeback but the next day!

So true. Thanks for the reminder to give an “I love you!” to Hubby.

Although…I probably save myself getting into a lot of trouble because I don’t always have the words to say at the time. If I was more sharp I think people would be shocked. Peeps love me for being the ultimate softie – only ever a gentle word.
I am a big believer in voicing nice thoughts whenever I get the chance – I like to make sure everyone around me knows they are appreciated (especially those I love most).

Sometimes we regret not saying NICE things to people, especially the words, “I love you.”

I don’t think I have EVER thought of the right thing to say. That’s why I prefer writing!
