    Three Little Words In our lives there often are times that can be summed up briefly. Many lengthy discussions could be narrowed down to a few words. It could be good to be short and to the point...at times. We all come across those that give explanations, followed by a story of why this or that occurred. They need to justify their actions...and go on and on. Turmoil between people is mostly lengthy, repeated words stated louder and louder. Several 3 word statements; chosen to suit the situation are available..."wanta get away", "I don't care", "wanta stay", "I am listening", "wanta kiss", "I love you", "want forgiveness", I am sorry". Three words can go a long way. Know Yer Loved, CWD
