listen up!

I really love this link.

I always love her blog, but this particular post rings especially true.

Listening is not waiting for your turn to talk.

We have become a society of non-listeners.

We are always trying to “one-up” the next guy.

How is it that we’ve forgotten how to listen to others?

(I’m not exempting myself from these generalizations.)

I had a roommate years ago that was an amazing listener.

Often I would come home from class to find her parked in her room,

quietly listening while someone went on and on about their (fill in the blank) problem.

She knew back then, what most people don’t know today,

the best possible way to serve a friend is merely to listen.

We all need a friend like that.

We should all be that friend.

True dat.

I think mom is a great listener. Maybe cause she's trying so hard to hear? ha ha. But she is a great example.
