Silence.... fin.

I like to talk. A lot.  I like people to talk to me and I like to talk to them.  I like sounds. I talk to my cats, myself, the animals outside, people around me ..... I just like to talk.   So -- my vow of silence is OVER!!!  It was a success.  I didn't talk for a while.  I saw how much needless stuff I say / post.  I learned I love to talk to beings around me.  I am GRATEFUL for the ability to communicate...like immensely grateful for that!

When I called my cousin to talk to her, she said, "I'm surprised you lasted as long as you did!"  I guess that means the people around me KNOW I like to talk.  Chuckle.

I'm glad I did it.  I doubt I'll do it again.  I would recommend it.  So TALK to me !!!!  What did I miss in YOUR world ?

Silence 1.0

I just read a Tweet posted by @KenNg that says:

"Before you speak...ask yourself:  is it kind, is it necessary, is it TRUE, does it improve on the silence?" ~ Sai Baba

It's "funny" (odd funny - not ha ha funny), but I'm seeing and hearing lots of things about SILENCE now.  This tweet is a really good example.  Today's "AH HA" was about how much unnecessary stuff I say, type, post, repost or spend energy thinking / talking about.  I did not post near as much as I would have today and I do not feel like I missed out on something or did not post something I wanted to or should have.
