Conclusion on communication

Communication defined by the dictionary is ‘the imparting or interchange of thoughts, opinions, or information by speech, writing or signs.  Now that sounds easy enough!  Yes, after fifty six years of experience in communication it is amazing when I fail at it.  Sometimes I have found myself assuming things and judging things and expecting things.

 

This can be a problem!  After so many years I still find myself living in my ego so to speak.  Falling into a sense of entitlement, like someone or somebody ‘owes me something’.  Wow, what a ridiculous place to be!  I know I have already learned a thing or two and still, I fail and fall into ego driven patterns.  Such a shame when it happens.  You see, on careful analysis it appears to me that nobody… no one owes me anything!  I realize that I am just grateful to be alive!  To be breathing air and having a roof over my head, wonderful people, friends and family, love and so many blessings I can’t even count them all. You see, when I get my head together it is all so clear, so easily found and acknowledged, yet still I sometimes forget.  Yep, forget how beautiful the day is or how wonderful my girlfriend is to me.  How my mother is still with me after eight seven years and dozens of close calls.  How I am a survivor today.  How very much I have to be grateful for.

So, I apologize to the universe for allowing my silly ego get in the way last weekend.  I apologize that I had expectations and should have had none.  I apologize that I was rude.  I apologize that I took just about everything for granted for a few hours, including my entire life.  I apologize to my best friend.

 

So, I have to stop writing for tonight cause I can see my ‘gratitude’ stone ready for me to touch… and be grateful.
