Day 272

Good morning!  My name is Lauren and I'm a grateful recovering alcoholic/addict.  Wow, this quote really got me. I know now that I need to start listening more and talking less, but this quote is spot on.  There is a BIG difference between hearing and listening.  According to Wikipedia, "Listening is often confused with hearing. While hearing is a process that can be scientifically explained, listening is a neurological cognitive regarding the processing of auditory stimuli received by the auditory system."  So I need to shut up and listen.  I need to really listen to them, how they are feeling, what their hurts are.  Maybe I don't need to say a word at all.  But I need to really listen to them, instead of just hearing the words that come out of their mouths.  I'll be honest, sometimes I am more apt to listen to someone just so they will listen to me.  But I need to be genuinely listening, and really caring.  So with that being said, I will shut up, and listen to you.  Enough about me...tell me about you...  That's all for today!  Have a great one!
