Just wanted to let you know how things are going here. 28th day of March 2020

Music

MoodSwing, Joshua Redman Quartet



Mood Swing perfect for a beautiful spring day. I sat outside with the chatter of the birds. All different sounds in my backyard. Cardinals, owls, and titmice.  All having reunions with old friends and buddies all coming back for a party cause it is spring. Those birds are cool dude.
I on the other had, I am uncool. Been uncool my entire life. I was always the odd one, shy one, the one who never did connect with people. I felt more comfortable to be alone around people.

I tried so hard to be cool. Just never reached that status. Now I am over 70 and an uncool lady living with her equally uncool husband. We are quiet people. We enjoy conversations, if both parties are listening and participating. So many people never have learnt good listening etiquette.

You don't fill out a new room with noise. Walk into a new room, new people, new situation with your listening ears on. Concentrate on what you hear around you. If you hear some intelligent conversation, move in that direction ....slowly...listen, think, and then ...and only then talk.
A conversation is two ways. It is not about  you. Even if you are bubbling up with talk, stop and listen.
That is it.
These are a few thoughts for day.

One tip for the day, never post weird pictures of yourself on the internet.
