Until I was 15, we moved approximately every year, to different parts of Canada and in 2003, I made the move down here to Texas. Looking back, I know that I had an angry looking RBF for at least 2 years :( Changes are not easy for anyone, especially those of us who have a desperate need for the familiar. Someone is listening :)Bevhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01149002274166772967noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-19751339.post-42065123028791445162014-12-02T12:39:14.533-08:002014-12-02T12:39:14.533-08:00Thanks for reading through Carrie, and you are rig...Thanks for reading through Carrie, and you are right, we do find listeners in little virtual communities, if only we can create that in our real lives.....I had to ask myself several times if I lack listeners because I don't listen? You know, like attracts like?

I, too, know the struggle of moving to a new place, starting completely over again, new job, new friends, new home, etc. And nothing familiar to cling to for support except your significant other, which, thankfully, we both have! I LOVED what you said here (will paste the excerpt here so you know what passage I'm referring to): <br /><br />"I can't remember the last time I have had a conversation with someone that was genuinely interested in hearing what I was saying. The form of conversation we have adapted is the sort where we feel that every opinion has to either be agreed with or argued. We have forgotten the simple act of listening and simply taking in what was said." <br /><br />WOW. Truer words have never been spoken. I have noticed this myself and it's why I became a listener at 7CupsofTea.com. It's a safe place where you WILL be listened to with an open heart, without interruption or judgement. The sad state of affairs is that this online service is insanely busy because we are NOT providing this open listening within our own friendships. We should be better listeners for each other and remember that when a friend "spills" about how they are feeling or troubles, they do not want to be fixed! They just want to be heard and understand and not feel so alone. I hope your blog entry hits upon a few ears and reaches down into some hearts. Great job! You are beautiful, my dear, from the eyes and down into your own heart!!Carrie A Rymanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04796374370757177120noreply@blogger.com
