Life pretty hectic lately, so just now getting around to reading your post. I very much enjoyed the article on anagrams. Words have been a hobby of mine since grade school. Anagrams are fun.....

You are right about being silent and listening. I am lucky because I have always been interested in people and love to listen to them tell about their lives and past things. One good friend from high school is a third generation independent trucker. He was 35 when he married because he wanted to get all the wild oats out as a single person. I love to hear him talk about all the places he has been that I have not got to see just yet. And he is only one person that I talk to.....

The odd thing to me is that I listen maybe 80% of the time (because of a true interest in what they are saying) and they think I am a very good conversationalist.

One of my passions is going to yard/garage sales. You do meet some mighty interesting people in addition to finding a treasure here and there4..........

I do love reading your posts............
