Say What?!

"I just wish my mouth had a backspace key." ~Author Unknown

What's your favorite form of communication in today's world? Text, email, phone, in-person conversation? There are so many ways of communicating these days, I am always surprised when you don't get a timely response from someone. Occasionally, I send an email that goes unanswered for days, but if I send the same question, to the same person via text, they respond in a nanosecond! How are you supposed to know what people prefer? I like words. I like talking. I like communicating and expressing ideas. Many people are not as "connected" as others. They don't look at emails or Facebook ten times a day. Some, I hear, don't look at it ten times in a month! I can't imagine! I think Facebook is a wonderful way of staying in touch with people that you otherwise might not. I call it "layered friendship". It is not the level of your family or best friends, but you still care about these people and what is happening in their lives. I enjoy seeing what they are up to via posts and photos. I try to respond, even if it's just to hit the LIKE button. That way, I feel like it is actually a relationship and not me just creeping on their lives. I know how I feel when someone comments or "likes" something I post. It makes me feel good and that I are being heard. Isn't that what we all hunger for, to be heard? So, I just need to know if you want me to text, email or call you! :)
