If we form a bond based upon it, it makes it more difficult to explore other aspects of communication.

flutter, could be, like I wonder what I can say next?

Bob, I think nailed it. When good things happen, I am often reluctant to share, fearing they’ll sound remarkably dull, which they frequently are.

Maggie, it’s funny when we attempt to recapture our youth now, we appear absolutely ridiculous.

I have been walking this road for some time, thinking the only thing worth saying is something juicy or negative. I went through a phase of attempting to always be positive and well, I realized I had not much of anything to share. That was a rather disheartening moment.

And as for yearning for the youth we traded for mortgage payments and dental plans. Um yeah. I liked spontenaity. We were pretty good friends for a while. Like to have visits from her more often.

The news should be renamed the bads – excepting for the 30-second fluff piece on Grandma’s 100 birthday, news is the bad stuff that happened today: robberies, murders, bombings. The juiciest gossip is the the nastiest. Perhaps is that if we hear the worst in others we feel our lives can’t be that bad. Maybe we’re afraid to share the good things for fear others will hate us for having achieved something they didn’t, or will accuse us of bragging – lording our successes over them.
