Today was a day of reflecting. Isn't that what Sundays were intended for all along? I spent the early afternoon doing a little shopping alone and, in between thinking horrible things about the annoying shoppers, I was able to think about some things that I wanted to write about actually. I was thinking about how important communication is. Whether it be between children and their parents, friends, or couples, communication is so important to keep the relationship going. Now, to answer your question, NO nothing "happened" in my life to spark this topic. I happened to read a post on Facebook about the importance of communication in a relationship and it just stuck with me. The article brought up several valid points, but the one that stuck with me was about our relationships with our significant others. It asked if you had ever been hurt, or upset about unmet or unrealistic expectations. But then, it also asked if you had communicated these expectations, no matter how insignificant or silly, with your partner. It was like a lightbulb went off in my brain. Yes, I have felt let down by moments that didn't go as I had hoped or expected. But did I ever tell anyone these thoughts? Of course not. So who am I to blame? The other person for not being able to read my mind? Nope. Myself. Because am I a mind reader. Nope. Maybe a tad psychic, but not a mind reader. So how could I possibly expect someone else to read my mind? It seems so simple, yet I will admit, it is difficult. You don't want to put out those silly little thoughts, dreams, or expectations just for someone to criticize you or laugh at you. But then again, if you are in a loving relationship, you should be able to trust the other person, and trust that they WANT to hear those little tiny details. Any who, it is definitely food for thought and something to work into your life one way or another. I know I will use this enlightening moment to better my relationships with others!
As for my little psychic ability, maybe we will cover that in a coming blog.
