I had a customer tell me a joke today. 'Have you heard of the two women sitting together quietly?' Knowing it was a joke I said no. 'Neither has anyone else.' It made me laugh.
I began to think of the the times that I have sat with a girlfriend, quietly listening to the sounds of the world around us. Some of those times contained joy, but most were solemn moments. Time to shed some sadness and refill our buckets of life with peace.
I am not sure about you, but I do this in my car a lot. I turn off the radio and listen to what my automotive friend is telling me. Does she have some new squeaks or whistles or groans? Is it just age or does she need a visit to the doctor stat?
I do this particularly if the road is wet. You can hear so much more about the suspension, tires and brakes at this time. The sounds reverberate differently. It is another opportunity to listen to her voice...and what she might be warning me of.
Thanks for talking girlfriend and keeping me moving safely down the road of life.
