Julia,

Hmmm, consistency that's an interesting concept I think because I seem to sway a little between being detached and being warm, friendly and upbeat.

On the way to the formal the other night there were a few silences as we drove. I tried to sit back and not think of them as negatives. Before long, I discovered they weren't negatives at all. They were opportunities to allow H to initiate conversation and he did! Always learning, I guess and certainly learning that saying less can very definitely be more!
