Sometimes It Just Pays........................

.................to be quiet. And listen. To yourself, to your friends, to nature, to your spouse, to your children.......don't use YOUR words; listen to theirs. Don't HEAR their words, but listen to them. Don't jump in with an opinion, a 'I know what you mean', or a 'one-up' story. Again....just tune yourself completely to whomever it is before you. Set you radio dial on them. Put them in your Ipod. Be that person who focuses and listens and lends an ear. Short blog because I'm waiting to listen.
