Sept. 16 -- Steemit Ramble -- Notes on My Favourite Reads

I was pretty pleased with yesterday. Took the time to get a different post out in addition to my ramble. I will start one today but finish it tomorrow I think. I have a meeting this morning and then have to work the door at a dinner this afternoon.

My eyes were pretty blurry by the end of the day yesterday with all the screen time I had, so I went to bed early. Dawn apparently decided that since I was in bed early, I could bloody well get up earlier. So, at 4am on the dot she started tapping my forehead. Usually I can ignore her and she goes away, but she persisted this morning. So, I was up an hour earlier than usual… damn cat boss!

Respect comes from listening to, and understanding others

Hive account@lifeisawesome talks about the importance of taking the time to actually listen to others. To understand where they are coming from. How often do we forget that we have two ears and only one mouth. That lets us hear twice as much as we need to say.

An Assistant Has Arrived

Well, I had to go out for a while today and do some volunteering at the branch. Of course, when I get home, my feline companions hang about trying to get my attention. This little scamp seems to have decided if she can’t get my attention, maybe she should just help me out.

Now, if she could only learn to type.
