In saying that, ...You're right of course Annie. In saying that, I have found that I can't tell when people are saying things that aren't quite the truth of it in order to avoid giving hurt. So I am trying to marry impressions, what has actually been said, my interpretation ... and yes ... conjecture. <br /><br />I used to at least try to believe what people said to me. How simple things were when I did that, simple but niaive. xx JosJoshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04681996675508746353noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8045558338047530867.post-56799293909568869612009-11-24T22:19:22.579+00:002009-11-24T22:19:22.579+00:00"I guess I mis-understood in every possible w..."I guess I mis-understood in every possible way". I think there is so much value in reflecting what you hear and interpret, back to the source. If I say something and you take it in as hurtful, there is so much benefit in checking out with me..."Is this what you meant when you said..." because then I can redirect your thought pattern before there is hurt and misunderstanding. Of course I can also concur that what you took in was exactly what I meant to say. But either way it is real, instead of based on conjecture.Wine and Wordshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06778785233226804217noreply@blogger.com
