Wandering Along the Path: Right Speech

The doctor's speech yesterday was crystal clear, and I was given ample time and space to ask questions and understand the surgery.  He and the nurse were veritable models of right speech.  I am relieved to have a surgery date.  I am today trying to exercise right speech around my brother's house and the contractor, as well as the real estate person.  Lots of opportunities these days!

I'm going to visit my friend's mother and check on her.  She knows I'm checking up, but is amiable about it, and I enjoy visiting with her anyway. 

Tonight I'm going to see "The Hunting Ground", a documentary about rape on campus.  I'm going with two friends, and I know this will be a right speech experience, coming out of a long silence about this issue.  It's time for colleges to step up to the plate and protect their students.  I expect seeing it to be disturbing, but it's important to have this problem aired in public.
