Words, Thoughts or Actions?

This has been a bit of an interesting week for me as my mom is visiting, and over the weekend, my mother-in-law was here too. Kind of made me wonder, what matters more, what you say, what you do or how you think about it? You see, I drove several hours over the weekend to pick my mom up and then drove several hours back to my house. I was feeling bad that she never got to see the kids events at school and all, so it seemed like a good idea at the time - but to be honest, I really didn't want to. Add on top of that some inevitable tension when you have two additional mothers in the house, and ... well, my thoughts were probably not the most charitable in the world. I think I kept my words pleasant - or to be more honest, tried not to say much, but the thoughts? Eh, not exactly kind. Does that negate everything else? And how much did my thoughts bleed through to actions, despite my best efforts? Oy. At least we're halfway through the week.
