Wanting to Talk

You ever feel like you just need a break to be able to sit down and talk with a good friend for a while?  Lately, I have been thinking about this.  I remember spending hours talking to my cousins like Chelsea, Brianne, Grant, Christina, Shalei or Erin and some of my siblings.  We had the BEST talks!  They would range from, "Why do we like the smell of a rain storm so much?" to "If Heavenly Father is our father, then who is our Heavenly Mother?"  Aren't these interesting questions?  I agree, not everyone would be intrigued, but I can think of a million fun questions that I would love to ask a dear friend or family member and just talk about it.

I love to hear about people's genuine feelings and thoughts about their most interesting and even mundane (this is subjective of course) things unique to them.  It's funny, but Ahnica and I talk a lot about how different we are in this respect.  She is a wonderful, spiritual, loyal and loving wife and mother, but she struggles carrying on conversations with people about whatever.  I, on the other hand, love to talk about whatever with people.  In fact, I feel like the Lord blessed me with a spiritual gift to be able to have sincere interest in others, no matter who they are or what what they talk about.

I know it has been a while since my last post, but I would love to have any or all who happen to read this post to write me a quick note of something they would like to share.  Maybe it's the pseudo-psychologist in me but I get a real high from learning about others.  Love you all, friends and family!
