Diplomacy the I'Lyzette

The painted Words: When a bamboo bends over backwards, keeping her peace, it does not mean that her sense of balance’s decreased. The wound that was inflicted though unintentional would have healed had a passerby thought more considerately than to snap it to rigid position after the storm has ceased. What I wrote: When one tries to understand just to keep the peace, it does not mean that her sense or spirit’s decreased. The hurt that was inflicted though unintentional would have gone had another thought more considerately than make a speech about it right after the trouble has ceased. 31 July 2015 The I'Lyzette Contest Sponsor: FJ Thomas

Not sure I remember what this challenge was, but did you revise it? I really like the one you are calling the "painted one" Both are good but that one is even better!

Well written Kim. How often people bend over backwards just to keep the peace. However it doesn't mean their spirit is dimmed, they are accommodating the person in their life, but the bamboo can only bend so many times before breaking. Great thoughts Kim---John
