This is my first blog entry. I wanted to write about parenting but my really cool brother suggests that I write everyday on any subject that comes to my mind. So here it goes.

I think listening is a lost art. Our attention span is so much shorter than it used to be because we are bombarded with information constantly.  We are always interrupted by something. I admire listeners. They take the time to slow down their lives so they can have a meaningful conversation. The topic isn’t important, it’s just nice to connect with a person that will take the time to just hang and talk.  Those times are rare in our busy lives. I cherish them when they occur.
