Hello? Anyone there?!

Okay, I can honestly say I can count on one hand, actually half, maybe two fingers, of all the people I talk to on a regular basis, (which should be more, I know, Im so sorry to all my loved ones I neglect!) that actually listen to what I am saying, you know who you are:) UGH!! I feel like I am talking to a brick wall 90% of the time, between my husband, who I am growing more patient with, its not his fault he came from a family that just scream and yell, and my co workers I dont know what to do with myself! I am honestly considering hiring someone to just sit and listen to me whenever I need...oh yeah, they call those shrinks these days:) Lets give an example so you can better understand where I am coming from...I am at work and am telling a story about this past weekend to my co worker. Well, instead of actually looking at me, listening and responding, she just stares at her computer! Is she doing anything of importance you ask yourself? No, just shopping online. UGH! And then, my boss, a sweet lady I love dearly, not only doesnt listen to what your saying, while your talking thinks of what she wants to say and will cut you off when she decides she wants to talk. UGH! I GIVE UP!! No, not really. But Im getting there! I do have to give James a little credit, he is atleast trying and apologizes when he realizes he didnt listen to a thing I was saying. I guess Im more sensitive to this more now since I took a personal communications class in college, Im deffinitely more aware of my interations with others. I think everyone on the face of the planet should take it, specifically from Brother Embry, he was a fantastic teacher. I learned a lot that I can take with me to the heavens. I also just the other day found a great website that has some excellent information on Active Listening. Go there!

So thats my ranting and raving for the day. Hope you enjoyed!
