Ins and Outs of my Life

Listen more than talk!!

Tonight, we took the kids swimming down the street at a neighbor's house. They are out of town and told us to feel free to use it along with some other neighbors we are close to.
Well it was the strangest thing, I was just talking to my friend and it hit me that I was just rambling about nothing! I am a big talker once you get me going! But lately I have tried not be such a talker as it gets on people's nerves! No one has ever told me that but I know when I am around a person that talks too much it tends to get on my nerves. Also, I used to tend to gossip and I don't do that anymore! But if you get the motor going, sometimes you can gossip and not even really mean too. But tonight I wasn't talking about anybody, I was just talking and then I thought, "OK You don't have to tell every thing and every detail that happened!." Why? Because it was just trivial info and nothing even important! I think I tend to talk to feel empty silences sometimes! I have really learned to try to just listen to people and not talk so much! It is easier said (no pun intended) than done though!
