Thoughts.

Would you do something, knowing that it may surprise & shock some of those closest to you, but that would also feel liberating & hopefully bless the lives of dozens? Something that keeps coming to your mind as one of the reasons you have experienced certain things in this life & have some of the talents you hold. Something that could be powerful & conversation starting & scary as all get out, all at the same time? Something that could create very uncomfortable conversation with close relatives/friends, but would hopefully help others feel the strength to discuss & not feel they need to hide behind their experiences? Seriously consider this question...

would YOU?

Work Place and Socialization

Have you ever noticed that being in the business world forces you to socialize with people whom you never would in any other situation? I am finding that I can 'love thy neighbor', but does that mean I have to 'socialize' with them? It appears so. I have no choice but to sit and listen to the never ending saga and drama of people's lives.

Have you noticed that there are people who can start a story, then be interrupted (for up to an hour!) and be able to pick up EXACTLY where they left off? Or who can transition from one topic to another in mere seconds, even though the two have nothing to do with one another?

I don't think it's fair, to any of us, to be forced to endure the mundane ramblings of a co-worker. Am I suppose to feel badly after I ask someone to please not talk to me very much today, I have a HUGE project to get done along with all the normal daily tasks? If I don't feel badly, should I feel bad for not feeling bad?

I am independently motivated. I like to get my work done and get it done quick. I'd rather have music playing and stay focused on the project at hand.

Am I the only one who feels this way? Maybe I'm not good at that 'love thy neighbor' stuff after all.
