July 18: My Thought for the day - Communication

Hi all, I know I haven't been on in a few days. I've been traveling. I went up to Lookout Mountain in North Alabama. And Sunday, I went to the lake. I had a wonderful time, but I got too much sun.

My thought for today is: Communication

I believe that communication is the key to every relationship. Whether romantic or just friends you cannot stay close to someone if you don't communicate. This is not the same as "talking", you can talk to each other all the time and not really have communication. Communication happens when you share your concerns, joys, fears, passions, triumphs & defeats with the other person. If a relationship is not strong enough to survive this kind of open honesty, it probably wouldn't last anyway. On of the most important keys to lasting relationships is always letting the other person know where you stand. You will find that sometimes real communication will lead to arguements, but if your realtionship is not worth fighting over, it's not worth keeping. As always, this is just my opinion. Use of it what you will.

Have a great day. Be Good & Stay Real!

Soooo true...

I'd say 90% of all my arguments (actually, can't think of any that werent) would never had occured it there wasnt a lack of communication.

It defintely is the #1 nail in the wall, so to speak.

This is definitely what has kept my marraige going for 34 years. I will guarantee that a marriage with open communication will never get dull or boring. Learn to argue without fighting and it can make a real difference.
