I suppose we just have to be on our guard a bit, and not relax into it too much.

You do that for me and for others, I'm sure, all the time :)Deborah Jenkinshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11156120348177986321noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1643092331729126387.post-12336176478730248152015-09-11T19:30:59.779+01:002015-09-11T19:30:59.779+01:00Thanks lovely Joy :) As I've just started a n...Thanks lovely Joy :) As I've just started a new job, it's something on my mind a lot at the moment. Watching others and watching myself, it reminds me again this takes a lifetime to learn.

I wondered if the bit about rattling off humour without thinking was directed at me, and then I realised I was just trying to find meaning that wasn't there, and then I realised I was possibly misreading a blog post about misreading, and then I laughed. Again. Because the incontinence leaflet made me laugh, too. (Don't. Ask.) <br />Fran Hillhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07935088780461825341noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1643092331729126387.post-79614475292117443782015-09-11T13:00:50.734+01:002015-09-11T13:00:50.734+01:00This seems to be the key thing to remember wheneve...This seems to be the key thing to remember whenever we engage with others verbally or otherwise:"And always in love."It's rather like asking ourselves what Jesus would do in our shoes. Acting with grace and love and respect toward others will definitely go a long way toward making our social interactions smoother. Thank you, Deborah, for drawing us in with your lovely gentle humorous storytelling and leaving us with such good food for thought! :) Joy Lentonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03486637586238798088noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1643092331729126387.post-2238570307184806692015-09-11T09:32:47.227+01:002015-09-11T09:32:47.227+01:00I used that saying so many times back in my busi...I used that saying so many times back in my business training days, 'its not what you say but the way that you say it.' Our tone is so important. Thanks for the reminder Deborah!Juliehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09501124850873084169noreply@blogger.com
