    This is so true Pam and so weird. It should be the complete opposite. We humans are a strange breed. For myself, I am much better at writing a note in a card than speaking directly to the person. Maybe it’s ME that’s weird! 🤗

        Yanno… I know first-hand about the power of the written word. My sister once wrote me a letter because I had hurt her with my actions. I hadn’t realised it at the time. When you get a letter, you can’t automatically interject like you would if the person was speaking to you.

    Those who are closest to us are also less inclined to hold back. We are often meaner to family than to strangers; having given ourselves the right (which is so wrong) to not hold back.

      I was brought up hearing, “If you don’t have something nice to say, don’t say anything at all.” Unfortunately that’s easier said than done, especially if you don’t have your filter in place!

    It is much easier to be authentic with strangers so often due to family relationships that have taken many years to solidify. Their perceptions of you get in the way of right communication. Expectations somethings squelch possibility and growth. You may be saying one thing yet through their own filter they are hearing something from out of the past. I found that also true when moving through my school years with the same group of kids. I had an excitement for a new year and changes but somehow we ended up in the same clique ruts and social situations. Expectation and familiarity are detrimental to personal growth. I also express myself through poetry, Pam.

      You are so right! I find this blog is perhaps my most personal way of expressing myself. And I feel safe doing so. Especially with such great readers and writers around me.
