I read something in someone's eyes that says something about he or she feels and I begin to explore that . . . soon I'm missing everything he or she says. So now, I'm make sure first that my ears are paying attention and I am fully engaged that way. :) Hi Dave,

I always have to watch that. I tell myself it's not intentional only that I get distracted easily. The worst thing is I know it belittles the person I am talking to. Note to self: keep eye contact! Ouch… final note hits home! I always have to watch that. I tell myself it’s not intentional only that I get distracted easily. The worst thing is I know it belittles the person I am talking to. Note to self: keep eye contact!
