The Fresh Perspective...

What do you do?

ouuuu expensive…

How often do you wash your car?  Are you good at taking care of your material things?  Large items like your exterior of your home, or your yard, or car/boat?  Do you respect the items in your life and what they do for you or BRING to you?

don’t get these dirty!

We have a very old piano (thanks Mel) and all my kids take lessons so I enjoy the music.  The piano is over a 100 years old so it needs a lot of TLC.  We need to do a series of things to make sure it keeps allowing music to resound. 

All of this because I realized it’s been so long since we serviced it and with funds being tight all around, it made me think of all the material things in my life that I need to maintain, like my white car or my old, old piano.

my piano has missing key tops too. still plays

I think I’m going to make a list of those items, cause as I’m writing this, I realize, how many material items do I have that I don’t maintain?  My dining room table needs a whole coat of new paint or at least a refinishing and the oven needs to be cleaned inside and out.

Then there’s the outside of my home. The paint job on the outside is trash. Actually, like it’s falling off… This is going to be a long list.

You have any items you maintain?  Any tips for me?  My car is white and in this time of year, I’m washing it sometimes twice a week.  In the summer the kids do it, but during school (and snow) I’m on my own.

20 Questions?

Good Morning all!  The weekend has come and gone and it's the beginning of yet, another week.  How were your days off spent?  What did you do?  What did you accomplish? Set any goals or completed them?  Ah, so many questions...

Why are questions so annoying? You know what I mean... Who are you talking to?  When are you coming back?  Where have you been?  Goodness.  Give me a break already...  The thing is, questions are quite a handy tool.  We use them to learn about things. We use them to solve problems.  They can also tell a lot about the type of individual you are.

When you're young, you use questions to learn how to communicate.  We ask why, and we want to know what simple terms and phrases mean.  When we get older, we use them to impose our will and/or dominate  a conversation.  It's almost used like a weapon, shooting out questions about everything, not really looking for an answer.

Let's try to change the dynamic of questions and use them like children or students do.  Let's use them to learn about an individual, a co-worker, a friend.  And when they answer, really listen.  Let's try to ask questions that triggers answers that will give us knowledge on something we were always curious about.

This week, I'm going to use questions to learn a bit more about the people I work with.  How are you going to use them?

Peace
