When you said that maybe we ought to pay more attention to what we say, although in part I do agree with that, so we wouldn't go around hurting people unknowingly, something inside of me said, 'maybe that's not such a good idea.' After all, it is usually when we are NOT paying attention in any particular way that we say something that "hits the nail on the head" for someone. What I'm trying to say is that if we start paying too close attention to what we're saying, we may interfere with the times when we unknowingly "connect" with another person. Does this make any sense? Just be you, Ter, don't force it or try too hard, and everything will turn out fine. That's what works best for me, I find, and it's when I try too hard that I tend to mess things up.Brigitte / La de Ojos Azuleshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03301018515652146278noreply@blogger.com
