Thanks for posting and your post made sen...Debbie,<br /> Thanks for posting and your post made sense. I never intend to say anything which will make someone feel badly but once in a great moon (ha) I might say something that is mistaken; I do need to work on my communication. What you are doing (I think) is living a life with no regrets as far as your relationships and I think that is awesome!Sharonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08538382764634562297noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6591112136976803019.post-73708985900000159332011-02-28T16:14:22.469-08:002011-02-28T16:14:22.469-08:00I don't think I have a problem with this one. ...I don't think I have a problem with this one. I know when I say something mean or hurtful and really try not to go there. I have to be really mad. I did figure out a couple of yrs ago sometimes I sound as if I am blaming the person I am talking to, I guess my tone, so sometimes I will prequel my statement by explaining this so they know I am coming from a place of love. I feel I do say what I mean and mean what I say. Funny thing when you are like this and you are talking to someone that wants to "read between the lines" communication gets tricky. I know I am reminding my husband to take things I say at face value and try to stop finding "hidden meanings". I guess this would be hard for someone that had no tact though. Anyway what I have been trying to do is speak the positive. I have been truly trying to live with gratitude this last yr. after reading a quote I saw, which I will share when I find it. lol. Especially after some trying obstacles I had to cross which made me realize how precious we all are. I have found it easier to tell those around me how grateful I am for them. What I say is true and comes from my heart. You can even do this with people you don't know well. I try to say any positive thing that comes to my mind while in conversation with someone. Since I have experienced this and then I don't say anything when the thought is there and I walk away I find myself regretting that I should have told them whatever it was. I have done this with my grown children and even my husband. I want to say it all I guess, nothing left unsaid. I acknowledge who they are and celebrate. It is nice to see their reaction and it is wonderful to me to beable to witness the lives of the ones I love so dearly in a positive way.Debbiehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11618444858740422206noreply@blogger.com
