Good day! Today I decided to tackle COMMUNICATION (Part 1). Communication is important in every relationship that we have - young and old, good and bad, you get it … communication matters.
Let me start here with the most important reason you have communication. It is for your relationship(s). Later (in COMMUNICATION - Part 2) I will address the more practical reasons. The most important reason to communicate is to share your love, mostly with your one and only loved one(s). The most important items are told to you from the moment you are old enough to “remember” - never go to bed mad at each other and always say “I love you” before you leave one another, no matter where you are going. It doesn’t matter if you are leaving for a trip without the loved one or leaving for a normal day at work or leaving for the grocery store. I remember once when my dad was in a hurry to get out the door for work one morning and my mom was busy getting us 3 kids ready for school. My dad forgot to tell my mom he loved her and he forgot to give her a kiss. It must have troubled him his entire way into his office, about a 20-minute drive from our home to the then Bethlehem Steel in Burns Harbor, Indiana. As soon as he got to his office he called her and told her that he loved her. That call made her day. That day has happened more than 50 years ago. I still remember it very clearly. I will never (ever) forget it. The day Tom and I were celebrating our 30th wedding anniversary, I became ill at work. Tom had gone to the high school girls’ golf tournament to watch Annie’s former team when a message was left for him on his cell phone that he was told to leave at the front desk at the golf tournament. When he got his phone and the message, he got to where I was and immediately called 911. Needless to say, I was taken to emergency surgery and given 24-48 hours to live. Needless to say I was very glad, and I still Thank God for having us exchange “I Love You’s” that morning. And now when he goes to the grocery store or even walks to pick up the mail in the afternoon, we be sure to exchange “I love you” before he leaves the house. I hope you and your significant other do too. -- God Bless -- Peg "That which we are capable of feeling, we are capable of saying." — Cervantes
