LISTENING

in my last blog i made reference to a doctor's appointment that was a bust . . .why was it a bust? because somebody forgot to listen!!!

this has given me cause to think about listening. . .

think about how i listen. . . .or not. . .

i'm fearful it may be - not!

i erroneously assumed (as i was paying for the time with the doctor) that i would be listened to. .

wrong!

the problems i had were real to me, were giving me concern and by the time i left the doctors office, i was soooo frustrated and why?

because the doctor did not listen.

so, it has prompted me to reflect about listening and doing a better job of it.

i will look at someone when they are speaking to me -

i will concentrate on what they are saying -

i will not be so busy thinking about my response - that what is being said to me falls on

"empty ears"

i will absorb, enjoy, relish and appreciate what is being spoken to me!

take a minute -

Listen!
