Mine didn't say much...but when he did get ready to talk....we all knew exactly what it was that he was trying to get across to us. My sweet Sam is a quite guy. I can't tell you how many times in our 42 years of marriage that I have said "I just want you to talk to me." lol....his answer: "If I have something to say, I will say it!"<br />Peace and quite can be good though....Shughttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12287830519297050445noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9173649280963485189.post-91237525677149282522015-05-31T16:35:51.512-05:002015-05-31T16:35:51.512-05:00Oh my goodness, yes, haha!

I often think that maybe I'd blog more often if I could just use someone else's blog post as a jumping off place, but would that be weird? I just seem to have more to say in response to what someone else has said than coming up with my own; not in a negative way, but in a throw back to school days and "here's your topic, now write an essay" sort of way. Not in a lack of my own thoughts kind of way, but I think, in a "is what I'm thinking about going to actually interest anyone" kind of way. Probably because I tend to ramble and my thoughts are everywhere. I do love silence and am blessed with children who enjoy quiet mornings, at least!

As we get older we begin to understand what seemd out of place or just mean when we were younger. I remember visiting with my Granny when I was young.. sometimes we would just sit for hours on the porch and say nothing.. the evenings were filled conversations and stories.. there was time to talk and a time to listen.. You also told another strong truth that hits home... talking with God.. oh, we spend time talking, talking, talking and then leave the conversation without listening...causing ourselves a multitude of troubles.. I still find myself not stopping to "hear" what God has to say and solving things for myself. The husband thing is true too. That is one good thing about being married for so long....You begin to know when to talk and when not to...." I enjoyed visiting with you today. until next time.. oh by the way, Still not posting yet...I guess I need to pull out my talkin boots" and get to work...Blessings!Patty Sumnerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06559185440436309709noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9173649280963485189.post-77135843158554956822015-05-31T14:56:52.311-05:002015-05-31T14:56:52.311-05:00I cannot tell you how much I love that phrase.

Don and I, like you and your husband, are capable of long silences. We know the other one is there. We don't have to talk, but we know that if we have to, there will be a ready ear, willing to listen.<br /><br />xoxo<br />ClaudiaClaudiahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16691249261693845371noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9173649280963485189.post-22518587674172567752015-05-31T14:47:07.918-05:002015-05-31T14:47:07.918-05:00One of my favorite quotes-- Never miss a good oppo...One of my favorite quotes-- Never miss a good opportunity to shut up.Dianehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03336382489523622350noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9173649280963485189.post-86813777145505191912015-05-31T14:00:00.047-05:002015-05-31T14:00:00.047-05:00Well, for not having your "talking boots"...Well, for not having your "talking boots" on -you did a pretty good "talk". lol<br />I hear you---I sometimes crave silence..and I live with a "talker"--talker-talker-talker...and that's all I'm gonna say about that! xo DianaNanaDianahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14298962791700019785noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9173649280963485189.post-19560738020265405852015-05-31T13:37:04.025-05:002015-05-31T13:37:04.025-05:00I love this!

M...I love this! I may have to remember this one :) <br />My hubby and I are like you, we can go hours without having (or needing) to speak, just comfortable silences, i'm normally reading, or crocheting and he is often watching something on T.V <br />Sign of a good partnership i'd say, where you don't feel the need to fill the silence<br />xxAnonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04917735759331109700noreply@blogger.com
