Sorry, we are not wordless this Wednesday either. For the letter L ( of The A-Z Challenge),I chose listen. Truly listening to someone makes that person happy and it should make you happy too. To quote Epictetus, a philosopher, ” We have two ears and one mouth so we can listen twice as much as we speak. ”

Love the picture, and the quote! A person who truly listens to others is rare! XO
Thank you. Very true. XO
Looking good, Joanie! And yes, listening sure goes a long way!
Thank you. XO
Sometimes it IS hard, but when we listen well, we dare not interrupt until the speaker has finished…only then is it our turn…if needed. Sometimes the speaker only wants/needs someone to listen!
Um…I need to follow that advice better, LOL!
It is hard, but means so much to the speaker. XO
My human has to remind herself of this. She is as talky as a Siamese!
MOL! 🙂 XO
That is true! I am a good listener.
It is. XO
Love that quote AND, listening is truly important – if someone is taking their time to say something we should give them OUR time by listening………
Hugs, Teddy and Mom too
Yes, it is. XO
I like that! I need to remember that; and mom as well! WE take twice as much as we listen!
Thank you. Same here. XO
Great quote! I am a talker in certain company and need to listen more. Rosie is a cutie!
Same here. Thank you. XO
I like this quote. Pretty photo of Rosie. She’s adorable.
Thank you. XO
I see you’re listening. Intently. I agree we have two ears and one mouth for a reason.
Thank you for joining the Wordless Wednesday Blog Hop.
Have a fabulous Wordless Wednesday, Ellen. Scritches to all the kitties. ♥

Have a fantabulosa week 👍
Thank you. Have a nice week too. 🙂
What beautiful ears for listening!
Thank you. XO
Amen on the listen thing, you can learn so much!
Yes, you can. 🙂
We love that quote. It would be nice if more people decided to use their ears to REALLY hear others. Too many are more interested in being heard than in just listening.
Thank you. The world would be a better place.
Purrfect L word Ellen…I learned to be a BETTER listener while working with international students.
Hugs Cecilia
Thank you. XO
Oh that is a lesson some never learn. Like Dads visitor today but she is so sweet and loves cats so no worries
Very true. XO
Excellent advice. 🙂 Be well, my dear.

That is such a great quote. Unfortunately, most people don’t listen much.
Sweet photo x
It is and it is a shame more people don’t listen. XO
That’s a great quote!
I agree.
Wise words from that philosopher.
Yes, they are. 🙂
Beautiful post!
Thank you. XO
My words for Wednesday are up, i am sorry it was so late, it was a difficult day.
No need to apologize. Thanks for letting me know. XO
Joanie! You are one beautiful cat! L is a lovable letter! I would Listen to you when you speak! Even though I don’t listen to my Mom. We hope you and your family have a marvellously happy day! Marv
Aww..thank you. We hope you had a nice day. XO
Your post reminds me of a poem that my sister taught me as a child:
A wise old owl lived in an oak
The more he saw, the less he spoke
The less he spoke, the more he heard
Why can’t we all be like that wise old bird?
I like that. XO
Are you listening, Rosie? I am.
She is. 🙂 XO
Great quote and beautiful picture!
Thank you. XO
Hello, gorgeous Rosie! I’ve never heard this quote before, but now I’m going to write it down so that I can remember it. Purrs!
Thank you. XO
Listening takes patience and focus, something many don’t have either of. It’s easier to fun one’s mouth, usually doing more harm than good when all a person wants to do is be heard.

Yes, it is hard to be a good listener. XO
