Good morning! My name is Lauren and I'm a grateful, recovering alcoholic/addict. Today I have been sober 500 days. Wow!!! One thing I have learned and am continuing to learn is about when and when not to talk, when to listen. That is a weakness of mine. I am a talker, I admit that. And sometimes that is a good thing. Somtimes I can help people with my words, but sometimes I need to shut up and listen. Sometimes I learn more from listening than I do from talking. "We have two ears and one mouth, so we can listen twice as much as we speak." -epictetus. I need to learn WHEN to do each. That is the struggle. Also James 1:19 says, "Know this, my beloved brothers: let every person be quick to hear, slow to speak , slow to anger." It is all a learning process, a daily lesson and I am working on. So practice this today too. Quick to hear, slow to speak, slow to anger. That's all I have for today! Have a great one! Feel free to comment too. I appreciate feedback. :)
