Good Listeners!!!

I've always prided myself on being a good listener. And, I think it is a good thing to be a good listener. I've always heard it said that you have a hard time learning if you are not listening! And, learning is a good thing! Now I don't want to sound like I am complaining because I'm really not. I think I can count allot of friends as mine. Both ways. They are my friends and I am there's. But, I was driving home tonight after dropping off my son. Mind you, I am never in a good mood when I have to take my son back to his father. But, here I am driving home after taking him back to his father and I just found myself being really bummed out. Border line on being depressed. All I wanted was to pick up the phone and call someone who I could talk to. But, I couldn't think of anyone.

It isn't often that I get to that point. After all I have this really great therapist and if I need to talk I can call her. But, I don't call her at 6:15 on a sunday evening. She is not in her office. I came home, fixed myself something to eat and turned on food network. Nothing like food to make you feel better right? Well, it's not that bad I made a waffle and I watched a food challenge. It wasn't like I was pigging out on brownies or something. I don't do that, I rarely like to eat brownies.

But, my whole point here is that I needed someone to talk to and I couldn't think of anyone. It's not that someone wasn't out there it's just that at the time I couldn't think of anyone. So, I came home and dealt with it myself!! That is probably the better way to handle things anyway. I am sure most people would probably not listen to a depressed, hungry person complain in their ear. Not even for half an hour! I am better now and I think I am going to go work on that book for awhile. That is probably a better way to handle things too. You know one more thing! I can bet that I could have called any one of several of my friends and they would have taken the time to listen. I know they would have! Have a great one.
