Good Morning Readers! How are you today? Hope life has been good to all of you.
I found this quote today and I am loving it.
My husband is the listen and silent type and I found it extremely painful sometimes LOL.
I am a woman and as a woman, we enjoy a nice conversation with out spouse or friends.
But, my husband lives in his own world, which is his work.
I mean I love a hard working man but sometimes what you love the most in a person becomes your own boomerang. HA!
But, I would not trade his work ethic for a lazy man. BOO!
Anyhow, I found it difficult to have a conversation with him.
I mean, the research shows that women speaks about 20000 to 25000 words per day and men are around 7000-10000 words per day.
I am actually a shy person and not a talker, but I talk a lot to those that I feel connected with in so many level. But, I am still not a talker compare to most women.
People says that men thinks women talk way too much and women thinks that men could never understand them. Geez, I wonder why? LOL
Is it because they do not ask more question or talk less and therefore they do not understand our world, or Is it because women are too tired to keep reminding the men what to do, where to go, how to do it for a million times?
Are we, women, that hard to understand?
Are we, women, that hard to please?
Are we, women, that needy or have the urgency to talk and having someone who actually listen and talk back to us?
Yes silent is golden, in times.
But, sometimes we need people who will not only listen to us but talk back.
A listener is worth a thousand words, but for the other person to realize that you actually were listening is the way you react to the situation or stories we were just talking about.
I hear you or I listen to you?
... hahahhahhhhhaha ...
"Hear me" could just mean I know you were saying some words, echoing!
Listen to me means you get what I am (or trying to) saying and understand it.
But, why on earth that half the stuff I said to a certain people who said they listened, never get it done the way I asked them to do it? LOL
Anyway, I guess in every thing in this life must have a balance.
A moment to remain silent,
A moment to listen,
A moment to talk,
A moment to accept,
A moment to act,
A moment to breathe and live your life
:)
Just one of those Saturday morning's talk!
I hope everyone is having a wonderful day.
xoxo,
Lindsay
