Different languages

Isn't it interesting that there can be people sparking the same language and yet communication is a process. The other day we were in a car waiting in a line of traffic after fireworks. Someone in a car further back in the line thought it was a good idea or funny to honk. Why, I do not know. And Becca said she would yell out the window that Jesus loved them. Absolutely true and something that everyone should know and experience, but probably not the best time to share such a message, yelling it out the car window in answer to the honking.

How often do we change what we are saying, more specifically how we are saying it based on who we are talking to. Like at work, I am not going to explain everything to a person who is super tech savy and I am not going to use a lot of techy lingo to someone who is not. But do you ever find yourself forgetting the context? Getting used to what you know or how you are used to speaking and forgetting to actually communicate what you are saying in a way that will be understood. Because communication doesn't count if you are the one still at the end of the conversation who knows what you were trying to say. Really you just wasted time, breathe and energy. Yet it's an effort and it takes energy, it takes caring about the other person or the message enough to change your norms and put things in another way.

Communication so important and so much to learn.
