My Turban is in My Other Pants
Dear Friends,
I love it when my sweetie meets my needs without my ever having to ask. But it certainly doesn’t happen all the time. Most of the time I find I get better results if I ask clearly and openly. I would love to say I’m immune to the flash thought of “if you loved me you would KNOW that…” but I’m not. I also remember how much it bugs me when other people expect me to read their minds.
Have you ever had the experience of feeling like someone is reading from a script, and they expect you to play the opposite part, but didn’t give you the script; yeah, annoying.
Of course there may be times when you have every right to be frustrated, after all, you have the right to feel the way you feel. Maybe the other person could be paying better attention. Maybe you did tell them what you needed. However, maybe we could be a bit more clear; maybe they need to hear what meeting the request would do for us. At the same time, it is easy to take a moment to ask ourselves: “is this a case with which our minds could use a little help from our outside voice?”
With a turban in the shop,
Kaye
