Empathy

It has been a very long work day. I am at a customer visit for work, and I am really trying to take the time to view things from their perspective. I know that sometimes we view things in our own eyes and might not take the time to understand the other side of the conversation. I am truly working to see their side of the coin, but sometimes I just cannot see their position. So, I remain calm and patient, and try to walk through it with them. It is just interesting how people view things so very differently. Sometimes that difference can also spark creativity and become something fantastic, just not today. :-)

I am excited because I come home tomorrow and I am hoping to get back in time for Tae Kwon Do class. Although I have been doing exercises and running while I am away, it is not the same as doing it at class or home. I am ready to be back. Hopefully I will see some of you tomorrow. Take care.

a big step.
