Life is a gift. Each moment, each breath, each thought that passes across our mind, each feeling that wells up in our hearts. Each experience. Each encounter. Each second. A gift. An incredible, amazing, gift. How often do we stop and remember this? We just get on with our lives. But we don't just get on with appreciating and enjoying. We get on with worrying, arguing, feeling afraid or dealing with responsibility.
 These are gifts, too. See them as such and you'll see their solution. Enjoyable diversions and distractions are fine but something is wrong when our fears take such strong hold of us that we can think of nothing else. Events show you how susceptible you have become to a major source of worry and aggravation. It isn't worth the time and attention you are giving to it. Life is about to present you with a much more inspiring picture.

People don't always hear what we are trying to tell them. Nor do we, in turn, always properly hear what others want to say to us. We get so caught up in our own beliefs, we twist the messages to match our expectations. Or we get so wrapped up in our feelings, we forget to think about what we are saying. But whenever we fail to be conscious of how we are communicating, we risk problems. Everything that needs to be understood and agreed can be sorted out. as long as you're slow and tactful.
