"Your toddler will do what they need to do, and not necessarily what you say. If you're patient, then they will be patient. If you speak gently, then they will be gentle. Whatever you want them to be, you have to start becoming." -Helen Hunt

I love John Mayer and this song he wrote. It reminds me to say something even if it might be hard this way we never regret saying nothing!

SAY

Take out of your wasted honor
Every little past frustration
Take all your so called problems
Better put them in quotations

Say what you need to say

Walkin' like a one man army
Fightin' wiht the shadows in your head
Livin' up the same old moment
Knowin' you'd be better off instead
If you could only

Say what you need to say

Have no fear for givin' in
Have no fear for givin' over
You better know that in the end
It's bette to say too much
Than never to say what you need to say again

Say what you need to say

Even if your hands are shakin'
And your faith is broken
Even as the eyes are closin'
Do it with a heart wide open
A wide heart

Say what you need to say

How beautiful is youth! How bright it gleams!

With its ilusions, aspirations, dreams!

The tumult and the shouting dies
The captains and the kings depart
Still stands thine ancient sacrifice
An humble and a contrite heart
