I feel that women, for the most part, are better communicators than men...again, for the most part. There are exceptions. I feel this way whenever I talk to my MIL. She's the laziest person I've ever met (doesn't have a job, kids are grown, she stays at home ALL day just playing around on the computer) but is always asking my husband and I to go pick up her special needs son from work, special olympics, etc. He once waited TWO AND A HALF HOURS for someone to come pick him up from work. I didn't have the car and no one else was home to take him. My MIL calls me and asks if Jake or I can pick him up... Uh, Jake's at work and we only have one car. Sorry. She had a car. So I asked her what she was doing and if anyone else could pick him up. Her response "Oh, well I had work from 12-3." Ummm...Brad (her son) needed to get picked up at 5pm...it's now 7pm...you didn't answer my question. BAH!! Sorry this was longer than I intended but the quote at the beginning of the post reminded me of this particular incident...and I'm long winded and have to tell every detail in a story :)<br /><br />Also, I LOVE your comments on my blog. Always. In response to your last one, you only raised your eyebrows to some of those questions?? It didn't raise the hairs on the back of your neck?? Haha!

As time wanders on the glasses begin to slip and what was once cute becomes an annoyance...<br />So how do we continue to live in Wonderland?<br />I myself apply the Armour of God every day. With the Helmet of Salvation on my head, my thoughts don't run off in chaos and I don't become cheesed off with trivialities. <br />With the Breastplate of righousness to protect my heart, satans arrows don't strike and pearce! and I am not as sensitive..<br />We never see our own actions or hear the way we say things...<br />If we did, we would understand how we also wound others.<br />Be encouraged. Life is so short. Forgive and love. Communicate about the mountains and let the valley's fade away.<br />God bless you heaps..<br />With a big hug from Australia.Sr Crystal Mary Lindseyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03509227559164880311noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4239739807914901688.post-79947170010960657862010-07-04T13:19:45.660-04:002010-07-04T13:19:45.660-04:00I can be horrible at communicating.

I don't know how to act seriously, and my mind tries to protect itself by having me laugh so I won't feel so awkward in the situation. But then that just makes me look like I'm a coward and don't know how to handle serious situations. It's a hard technique to learn, for sure. I'm trying to get better with my communication skills, though. Maybe I should take more speech classes...Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4239739807914901688.post-45550530094386069032010-07-04T12:20:31.981-04:002010-07-04T12:20:31.981-04:00it is a battle and at simes can be so very frustra...it is a battle and at simes can be so very frustrating.The Bipolar Divahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05449793830455116918noreply@blogger.com
