I was reading my new Sue Grafton book - S is for Silence........ I thought as I read the story that all too often we are all silent at the wrong times for the wrong reasons..........we are afraid of what other people think or what they will say......... good communication is so vital in maintaining vibrant, healthy and emotionally satisfying relationships...........Sure we are going to screw up and say things we shouldn't..........but I think more often we are not saying the things we should to the people who need to hear them.............of course that brings up listening which is a whole 'nuther kettle of fish for another time.........
