Attention ...

I recently read a book about relationships that advocated following the Five A's:
1. Attention [to the other person, what they say and do]
2. Acceptance [of the other person, even if you do not understand]
3. Appreciation [of the positive qualities of the other person, even if there are also faults]
4. Affection [shown in an appropriate and clear manner]
5. Allowing [the other person to be who he/she is, even if you do not agree with everything]
Tom just wandered in and looked at my blog.

Tom: "Is that your new blog design? Pretty spiffy!"

Me: "Well, it is my new blog design for about the past six months ..."

Tom: "I live with you, I don't have to read your blog to know what's going on."

That's what he thinks!

Extra credit: Which of the 5 A's am I failing to follow in this post?

LOL-----Paul says the same thing about reading my blog!!! (Honestly, sometimes I'm glad he DOESN'T read it tho. It's my place to ....vent. :-)

Not sure, but I think #5 is the one you aren't following....(to the letter, but who's actually counting, right?)

Glad you found me again too Michael!! I read yours and Tom's altho I don't always comment. I'll try to comment more once we get settled in the new place tho. Right now we have a 60 mile/1 hrour commute to work at 6AM to work......and the same back home in the evenings. I've also taken up photography recently and have entered a couple of competitions so I'm spending a lot of time out looking for photo ops.

And talking about snow- we had our last one last week. ......have mercy I've seen more snow here this year than I saw in the past 20 years back home!!!

Cant wait for the thaw- and I'll bet you can't either!!!
Love from Jolly Old England!!!
