it's not about replying

Today's favourite quote:

"The biggest communication problem is we do not listen to understand
we listen to reply"

I have caught myself before now, thinking about what it is I'm going to say next, instead of really staying focussed on what the other person is saying. We are all so desperate to be heard and understood ourselves it can feel impossible sometimes to keep listening to the other person.

I'm a bit lacking in get up and go this morning. Foolishly, a quick work email sent just before bed meant an entire night of dreaming about the situation.

I put on my painting gear after work yesterday but never got round to any. I've got up and dressed in it again today, so we'll see what happens...
