Just another face not in the crowd.

For some reason, when I began my facebook hiatus, I thought I would start blogging more. I thought maybe people would miss me in the social network world, and so maybe they'd click their way over here and see what I was up to. I also thought I might talk to some of those people on the phone more. I did have one phone call from a dear old friend the very same day, but that was pretty much it. And I haven't been blogging because all of a sudden, I just found I didn't have much to say. Mainly because I immediately developed the flu.

But now I'm over it. And for whatever reason, I'm still finding myself pretty quiet. I've been busy with my job and an exciting new enterprise that is taking up much of my extra time. And of course, with the time change, I am finding myself outside as much as possible soaking up as much Vitamin D as possible and just basking in Spring. Maybe it is because of all of this that I find myself just not really wanting to talk or blog a whole lot, but for whatever reason, I just find myself not needing to say much. I've also been realizing some stuff I had kind of forgotten. Like how much you can hear when you don't talk. How much people tell you without really meaning to. How much you can learn about intent.  How little we actually say with words.  And how much we say in the way we say things. It reminds me to be quiet more often.  To listen. Really listen. And to make what I say count. And above all, when I do speak, to always speak my words kindly. Of course, I've also discovered keeping quiet is just easier sometimes.
