presentation and angles are everything!

something i've known for years kinda slipped right
on by me lately....this one sounds small....but it's
way bigger than you think at first.

"presentation is everything."

how many times have i said that to friends when
they were having a problem with someone???

and here i am rammin' my head and heart against
someone i love a ton because his presentation stinks.
grin.
okay.
not fair.
let's try that again.
his presentation is totally different than the
presentation i need.

it occurred to me today...we both want the same thing.
totally. so. um. why in the world do i want to run
and hide when the subject comes up? because what he
thinks is a loving presentation makes me feel really
lousy.

go figure.
that's kinda amazing.
mars and venus???

think about it.
how many times does that happen between people?
um.
they have a word for this.....
no.two words:
"total miscommunication."
yeah, that would be it.
but it makes more sense to me when i look at it like
his presentation stinks.

we talked about it today. i think i used much more
diplomatic words than 'stinks'....
and we both saw it.
we're both totally, totally different.
this makes sense.

and it feels so much less threatening when i step out
and look at it from this angle.

angles.
they're everything, aren't they?
no.
presentation AND angles are everything!
