Word to The Wise

I dont have much to say today because I have a lingering headache and stayed up WAY to late last night doing who knows what. I am running on literally four hours of sleep: Yahweh please give me the strength! Nevertheless, I am surely gonna pay for it today. But, I just want to send a shout out to the world...a friendly reminder...a word of caution...IT IS NOT ENLIGHTENING, COMFORTING, OR PLEASANT to hear folks say as a pregnant woman the following fraises:

1. You sure are getting big...
2. Hey Fatso! (as a initial greeting)
3. Just think, you'll be that big soon

Constant references to ones appearance is pointless and thoughtless. Its annoying! So, a word to the wise...please keep your comments to yourself because they are not positive or uplifting. Some people may think it comes from a loving place, but it just aint. Pregnant women are beautiful who deserve to be serenated with words of impowerment and grandure. I hope this doesn't sound harsh or rude, but I am just asking that you think before you speak. Ask yourself, would this comment make me feel great?
