First a vent...

Ok, so I am going to post two of these things today. I am going to get my negative one out of the way first.

I'm a little irritated today. And, maybe it's not just today. But, do you ever get the feeling that people don't really know what they want?

Let's just give an example....Say, someone that was lonely and continuously (or at least frequently complained of loneliness) indicated such in personal conversations. So, what does a friend do? Said friend invites the person to do something. Regularly. And, what does lonely person do? Well of course; they repeatedly decline offers to "hang out", ride with, or have lunch.

Or what about the people who tell you how much they want to hang out with you...yet, they spend as much time telling you how busy they are...Does that mean they are too busy? Or, does it mean you are supposed to be grateful for their time?

I guess it's just me. If I need you to listen...I ask. If I need some time alone, I say so. I don't get the games we play with each other. Ask for what you need, want, request...and then of course the other person isn't obligated. But, they have the opportunity to GIVE. That way, there are is no confusion. And, you don't feel that you are "taking" from the other person more than they wish.

Anyway, that's all on this one. Grr. Just kidding. Be thankful and love each other. My thankful list is coming up next...
