People talk about things until they don't need to talk about them anymore.

  100 Personal Quotes -  #4   " "People talk about things until they don't need to talk about them anymore."  Confession, this used to be about ME being patient with others.   Waiting to watch their expressions and need to talk about something that perhaps they’ve forgotten that they have already told me.   HOWEVER, I’m finding that now, it applies to myself equally if not more-so.   I hear myself telling a story that I know, as the words are even coming out of my mouth, I’ve told before.   I’ve told THIS person before.   I even apologize with, “I know I’ve told you this before. . . “ and continue on!   At the same time, I’m mentally -I’d hopefully never embarrass someone out-loud- saying, “Here we go again, s/he’s told me this multiple times now!”   I think, (enter thoughtful pause here) that ofttimes, the need is still there to share for several reasons.   One, they might not have felt you understood what they were reall...

100 Personal Quotes September 7, 2026   #3   Beware of burying yourself in 'busy' You run into an old friend at the grocery store, you know the drill, “Oh!   How ARE you?” – You – “Oh dear, busy, really busy.”   - Them, “I know what you mean!    Me too.   Sorry I haven’t called. . . but . . . .” then, the grocery list of all they are currently involved with, as your brain is on hyper drive making your own list of how busy you are, and what has kept you from texting or making a lunch date.   We are all ‘busy’, we claim it almost as a badge of honor.   There are even books written about being in the FLOW – thanks Mihaly Csikszentmihalyi –.   But is it really where we want to be?   Do the endless entries on our calendar define us as successful?   Does a calendar without a day un-allocated make us feel like we are slackers?   Think about it.   When was the last time you had a day with absolutely nothing sched...

  100 Personal Quotes August 31, 2026 #2 "Search for the innocence in the crazy things I do and I'll remember the innocence in you." Ah, time, the great equalizer.   The richest of the rich, and the poorest of the poor, have exactly the same amount of it.   Twenty-four quickly evaporating hours.   Yet, do they?   Time is acknowledged in several ways.   What you do WITH it, How much of it is really yours to CHOOSE what to do with it, and how much of it is left, after obligations and demands are met.   What then does my time meander have to do with innocence?   I believe that every soul who walks, scoots, or is somehow carried across the earth’s surface is born innocent, and yet with infinite wisdom.   Contradictory?   Maybe.   We are made of energy, energy can neither be created or destroyed.   Hence, “I” existed long before I was stuffed into this imperfect shell we name ‘body’.   That energy of ‘me’,...
