Simple Words At End Of Week - #173

The most basic and powerful way to connect to another person is to listen. 

Just listen. 

Perhaps the most important thing we ever give each other is our attention. A loving silence often has far more power to heal and to connect than the most well-intentioned words.

    Mom and Dad gave me that toaster when I lived in Sioux City. I burned lots of toast using it. Do you have one or is it just a file photo?

      Hi Nolan! It is a matter of pride that all photos/images posted on my blog are my creation unless stated. But to answer your question, no, I don't have the toaster. my OR son has it!

      I asked Nolan if he still had it - and here is his reply:

      The toaster is toast! The old fuzzy style cord failed and was tossed in the late 1970s.

      Thanks Matt - your funny little emoticon turned into questions.
      There are always questions when one is exploring the mystery!
