Aldous Huxley

    Hello Jenny, you are sweet to care about your readers by advising them to add an email address to their blog. I think that is one thing that blogger does not do a good job in addressing.

    On to your post...love the quote! In my next life, I'll know many more words and read many more books. :)

    Just checked it out, his book A Brave New World, banned for sexual and too adult theme.....also, still trying to access your list for Alphabe-Thursday.....not sure why I can't get it...but I know, blogger does this every once in a while when you want something they delay the process...bugs in their heads!!!!

    And others' words can pierce you, too, both kind and unkind. Although I think kind words "touch" you and hurtful ones pierce. xo,

    Shoot, I thought you cheated too when I saw your title. I thought Quotation doesn't begin with an X--you're worse than me! Then I read the quote.

    Never mind!

    A+ on finding a great quote for a very difficult letter!

    Words can definitely be misinterpreted, too. Especially typed words. Just depends on the readers interpretation.

Hi! Thanks for leaving a comment! My handy dandy e-mail assistant always notifies me when you do and I read every single one.

I try to respond to comments with a return e-mail BUT I just noticed that I've been answering a lot of them to blogs that haven't linked their e-mail address to their Google account! I haven't been ignoring your comments, but now I know you aren't getting my reply e-mails! I'm sorry!

I know a lot of other bloggers who respond to comments via e-mail so if you haven't left off your e-mail on purpose, you might want to add it on! If you don't know how you can let me know in your comment and I'll see if I can help you!

Thanks so much for reading my 'Tangents'! Your comments always feel like a hug!
