We seem to be starting with a nice good morning here in Hewitt, Texas. I was allowed to go to the star coffee place and get a cup of coffee before I got too involved in this blog posting.
Well let's see if we did anything yesterday: I went into the grocery store and picked up a few items when I returned home, I attempted to use one of the items I had purchased. The item was a shade for the windshield of the Fords new Chevy. I quickly learned the shade was too large for the Fords new Chevy and when I reviewed the package it came in, I learned that it was extra-large! I was able to repackage it for a possible return.
I then kicked back and rested for about an hour. The rest period completed, I took my favorite wife to the store where I returned the shade and my favorite wife purchased a few items that she wanted. Shopping was completed, we left the store and we went directly to The Georges Restaurant for supper. This time my favorite wife used the walker to get from our vehicle into the restaurant, no wheelchair! My favorite wife is getting much better at walking and at times without the walker while in the house. Food and service was outstanding.
Back at home we rested outside for a while.
Different topic: I have a photo of the Plumeria forest ( there are many plumeria close together and they kind of look like a forest in the photo) which I will present to you. The planarians are now preparing to bloom and, in a week or two we will have a bunch of pretty blooms in the forest.

Good Communicator…
I was thinking about how people react when they are in a conversation with another person. Quite often when listening to other people we tend to, in our minds, start coming up with a response to their comment instead of listening to their total comment. Often, we have experienced whatever the other person is saying, and we consider our experience equal to or even better than theirs, so we feel the need to enlighten them with our thought.
I will attempt to provide some guidance.
When the other person is speaking, we should listen.
Attempt to understand what the other person is presenting and consider it as important; it is important to them.
Allow the other person to finish their comment, you may only interrupt if you do not understand a part of the comment.
When they have finished and you understand or do not understand what they have presented, then you may comment or ask questions.
Listening to someone’s comments can be a learning experience for you and a positive experience for the presenter.
Not listening or interrupting the person during their comment can be an irritation to that person and will indicate that you do not respect their comments.
Listening and not interrupting shows respect for that person.
I guess I should stop for now, we hope you have a good day and that we all stay safe in all we do.
Mr. Donnie the Ford.
