Take The Time To Learn Someone’s Name
Author: siggyTake the time to learn other peoples’ names. It always makes a difference. Others want to be called by their proper names. It always makes a difference.
So ask the names of people you have frequent contact with. Do not hesitate to ask their names again and again until theirs are fixed in your mind. Others always appreciate that.
Then you can gradually become more personal with them. It might take awhile but you will learn about them quicker if you (first) went to the trouble of (first) learning their correct name. It always starts there.

Hey, Siggy!! I’ve been reading your blogs, catching up. I really agree that relationships take some compromise. I love the sound of birds singing. It’s terrific that you are watching a pine grow! Mist those postal posies!!!! Oh, how true that everyone won’t like you. I always want to be accepted……you don’t have to like me, but it sure is nice if you can just accept me as another human spinning on this planet with you. Some people do not accept me because I am not just like them. I understand. It’s really okay. OH!!! And I totally agree about acknowledging people by their names. That is important! We are not just specks of cosmic dust……we are specks of dust with identities. I hope that you are having a terrific day. I am doing my best to find some joy, even if it’s just a teeny bit. Carry on! ~Sara

I learned about your blog and saw it for the first time today. It’s nice. I own 3 cats at present (and they have own dog lol), it’s sort of a menagerie at my home. But there is never a slow second, that’s for certain. My best-loved breed of cat is the Siamese, though really I haven’t seen a cat yet that I didn’t like, regardless of its breed
