Loud in the dictionary says:
–Adjective
1. (of sound) strongly audible; having exceptional volume or intensity: loud talking; loud thunder; loud whispers.
I am a very loud person I have known this about myself my whole life. I grew up with parents telling me to be quite, to turn the volume down. It made me so mad to hear that from them. But now that I am older I realize that Yes I am a loud person I am not quite very often if at all. With this said...
The other day someone I love and admire was telling a story and his thought happen to be of me being loud- I did not take this offensively or get mad, because it's true. It just made me think, before this happened I was thinking to myself a little while ago it would be funny to make a post, of my name never in the same sentence as quite. But this is not so funny anymore, because I know several people who are just as loud as me and it drives me crazy that they are so loud. I know I know what you are thinking I can't get bugged or mad because I am just as loud as them.
Anyways, I am posting this today to remind myself that it's fine to be loud as long as it's approprate. For all you loud people out there just remember to be quite at times. :)
Love, The loudest M

That's funny Melynda. I feel like I'm always telling Mia to be quiet. She's got the loud gene too.
I wish I was louder - no one can ever hear me.
I love how you wrote the loudest M. Ha ha. You're cute.
You are so cute M! I am a loud person too. But you are right - I have to keep it appropriate! Thanks for the insight!
im right there with you on being loud in high school my friends were always telling me to be quiter the more excited i would get about things the louder i got and didnt relize it in january i had my 2nd sleep study done with a cpap the girl came in to wake me up in the morning she asked me how i had sleeped so i was answering her she then shushed me and told me i was being too loud and she had other people still sleeping i wasnt mad i know it was funny im constantly trying to remember to be quieter
Hahahaha! What a GRRRREAT post, M! I have to admit ... the key word for you in that definition is "exceptional".
There is nothing better than you saying, "OMH - Did I really just say that THAT loud?!?" when we're at a restaurant. Or ... "Great. That lady heard me laughing at her from CLEAR over here!" And don't forget that whitey tighty boy who pulled his pants all the way down just for us due to our not-so-quiet observation of how dorky he looked! hahahahaha.
OH - and MY Marissa ... oh my oh my OH MY!!! I am SO grateful that I can observe her gift of loudness and say to myself, "As long as she turns out like M ... I'm good!" :)
And ... quite frankly ... you're not ALWAYS loud. You tend to get louder when Mom and Dad ask you to tone it down. (The kids looooooove it!)
Love you SO much! You'll always be the favoritest along with the loudest!
Melynda-
You know that I love you just the way you are. I have never known you to be inappropriately loud.
Sometimes it's great to be loud- like when I tell a lame joke that nobody else laughs at- it's good to hear you.
You are just the right amount of loud.
OK, OK maybe I shushed you a bit too often. It's really funny to me that loud people could annoy you. And I love you just the way you are. Our Louder than Life M.
I am a loud one. I still get shushed regularly - often by kent (usually at church) :)
Melynda,
What would i do with out you. Always there for everybody. Thanks for being you, loud and all.
Love , Dad
I'm ALWAYS telling my kids to be quiet..maybe I should just let them go because they'll be like you!
Sure do miss you and 'all your loudness' I would love a visit from you if you ever get a chance.
I love that You are You. It's great that you never need a microphone or an intercom in your house! Miss ya! Love Hillary
