Well... surprise surprise. Technology is not my strong point. Was there ever a question? This blog has been idle because I couldn't get anything to post. Karissa, who works with me, was able to sit down and get it going again in about five minutes! It is amazing how easily a brain raised beginning in a certain decade figures out these technological things. The long and short of it is this... AnnD was off the blog for several months. Now, I'm back! Keep watching. I'll be posting.
The act of being courteous takes very little effort. I’m one of the worst to get involved in what is going on at that moment in my life, probably trying to figure it out, fix it, find a solution….you know, MOVE ON WITH IT. All the while, I frequently miss what’s happening right in front of my face. When we stop and think about it, a lot of us probably come across as disinterested, impatient with, and/or bored by what others are saying. In politeness we nod, maybe touch an arm as if to say, “I hear you.” I know a lot of the time we’re sincere, but more often than not, we’re probably thinking about the next thing on our own agenda forgetting what we’ve heard only five minutes later. If I’m thinking about this, the light bulb may be going off in your head, too. Maybe all of us can put forth a more concerted effort to be effective listeners and be as truly attentive as we try to make people believe we are.
