And more thanks for being honest about your grade (so far) for intentionality. If you go back to any of the earlier 41 iterations in the "My Grade..." series - all of which pre-date your faithful patronage of my blog - you'll see a lot of "C+" and "B-" grades for me, I assure you. We are all works-in-progress. Thanks for participating.

I hope this finds you all doing well. ...Hello, Pat. I hope this finds you all doing well. Interesting, yet again, post.<br />Intentionality - I love that. It took me 2 or 3 times to get comfortable with saying it, but it's a great word. I would imagine that most people would agree with simply saying 'Lets Stay In Touch', etc, is not enough. It just adds to the confusion, at least my confusion, of why so many simply say just that .. and for the most part, leave it at just that. And, as a result of this, I share your feelings that it is not enough. For example, I have tried to stay in touch with people I used to work with. Worked with day in and day out for many years. And there are some that do reciprocate. But, even with these people it is, obviously, much less than what I/we were used to when we worked together. And then there are those who may (and may not) say that they'd like to stay in touch, but have no intention of doing so. I have tried, and will continue to try, to not be the one that says it and does nothing about it. I'm not great yet, but I am trying and I want very much to change the narrative. So, although my current grade may hover around a C+/B-, I remain hopeful as always.<br />Be well,<br />BobAnonymousnoreply@blogger.com
