Shut up and Listen

When I graduated from high school our class "prophecy" had me being a bartender in a New Orleans bar. I'm not sure if it was tongue in cheek, ( I was the kid in class who never said a word unless he had to. Yeah ,hard to believe now I know.) ,But maybe that "prophecy" was spot on. Bartenders are great listeners. And so am I. My ability to read between the lines is almost in the super-human category. (well most of the time). But I do know when someone just needs to talk. And if you'll take the time to listen, you just might be surprised what you hear.
