A gentle response defuses anger, but a sharp tongue kindles a temper-fire. ~Proverbs
When you run out of wood, the fire goes out; when the gossip ends, the quarrel dies down. ~Proverbs
An argumentative person in a dispute is like kerosene thrown on a fire. ~Proverbs
How do you fight fire?
Relationship fire fighting 101: Gentle responses, silence, and mollification douse fire.

Thank you for the challenge. I have been swamped at work and have not been able to participate in a while…but hopefully, I am back on board. Working on the bittersweet challenge. Have a great week.

Wow! These pictures are gorgeous. Wise words to go along with them! Sitting in front of a fireplace and relaxing sounds wonderful but we haven’t used our fireplace in years. Sort of a moot point in Florida! 😉

Lucky you! Lol. I prefer the suns warmth but living on the last sto before Antartica…I get a few opportunities to sit in front of the fire. Thank you for reading and sharing your lovely comment. Have a great day!

Beautiful pictures! Great colours and wise words. I prefer my fire in a fireplace too. Either with a hot chocolate or sitting around a campfire, waiting for the smores to be ready.
