So - yea - I got nothin'.....
I decided to change the name of my blog. I got nothin' is a favorite saying of mine.
I guess just don't always feel like sharing the details of my life....and so here I am blogging. But this is a different forum and no one has to read this if they don't want to. Versus in a conversation the listener is at the mercy of the speaker.
I recently heard a something on the radio - probably NPR - about the lost art of conversation. I confess, I'm not big on conversation.
On a relatively regular basis I lunch with 3 other women at work. What I enjoy about this group is that there isn't a conversation hog. We seem to have a nice balance of sharing and listening. There are even times when the conversation lags, amazing amongst 4 women.
My husband and I go for walks at least a few times a week. We have great conversations during these walks. I'm not sure why, maybe its the rhythm of the stride. I digress.
Most people want to talk about their interests and experiences. For me my favorite topic is Barry Manilow. Yet some just like to hear the sound of their own voice......
This forum is so open yet so daunting. Not know who might read anything does lead to some guardedness (again - is this a word). It will be an evolution I'm sure.
