Random Writing

Open the dictionary and pick a word at random, write your entry about that word.

Ok, I'm going to get the dictionary......

Ok, I have it...

I'm just going to open it at random and the first word that I focus on will be the word I'll use to write my entry.

Here goes...

The word is........tone

Yikes.... let me think......OK, here goes.

Each person has a different tone to their voice and that tone can represent the persons mood, demeanor and at times even their thoughts. The tone a person speaks can also be a comforting one. It can be a reassuring voice of reason, understanding and support.There are times that the tone of someone's voice can give others the wrong impression. They may just have a raspy or course way of speaking and come across in a way that doesn't represent who they truly are. This brings home the saying "Don't judge a book by its cover" or in this case their voice.

Married couples sometimes can tell what kind of mood their spouse is in simply by the tone of their voice when they awake in the morning or perhaps when they arrive home from work. They may be tired and express that simply by how they speak. Learning to recognize tones specific to those we spend time with can assist us in communicating better with them. For example if you know when your spouse speaks in a certain tone that it means they are not in a good mood then that may not be the time to go to them and ask them to be there for you. They may need their own space at that moment. By the same token when their tone of speech leads you to know they are in a good mood this may be a good time to spend some quality time with them and do something special that will bring both peace and tranquility.
