Hi Noemi. Great choice for this week’s theme. I admire this project and I have yet to get my own canvas bag.

I agree that there are situations where silence is the best option. Sometimes talking can actually make things worse so to avoid making something larger than it already is, keeping quiet becomes a wise choice.

I need to get me one of those bags…now. I wish people would change from plastic to non plastic as easily as that bag. That doesn’t make any sense.

That bag is definitely not plastic. Here in Munich, most people use re-usable bags to shop, and in most stores, if you don’t bring your own bags, you have to BUY a bag to put your purchase in. The cost of the bag goes toward helping to recycle the plastic, or to dispose of it. But most people simply re-use them, since it gets expensive to constantly be buying new bags!

These bags are becoming very popular. A great take on the plastic theme.

Hi Noemi, nice choice. Like you, I decided to use that bag when I go to the groceries along with the green SM bag. Sobra na talaga plastic (literally & figuratively, he he) around us. Tayo din mahirapan and of course, our kids.

@Jon Limjap- thanks for the link. Those are great gift ideas. Not only are they so functional , these bags give income to the women who make them and at the same time recycling saves our environment.

@JM- true. There are things beyond our control and it is the feelings and opinions of people over you. The only thing I can control is my attitude. I just want to step back

There was a time in my life when I was so bombarded with intrigues that the only defense I had was to take offense and fight back. Then again, it didn’t do much good, words just came nastier, insults more personal.

So now I resolved to keep silent on issues that I think won’t do good if I continue to talk. It’s hard to accept that people will say you’re losing the battle by not speaking up, but there’s a point in time when you just have to say, “I’ve said enough.”

Haha. Silence is golden. =)
