Are You A Good Listener?
Are you a good listener? In this podcast we take a test that will help us determine if we are good listeners. There are twenty questions. Bruce, a licensed professional counselor, tells us that many of the problems he helps couple work through began because one or both of the people involved were not good listeners. So get yourself a pencil and get ready to answers the questions on a scale of one to five. For each question, five means you can answer the question with a strong yes. One means, well, no! If you're brave get your spouse or a good friend to rate you.

Not Done Yet - Part 2
This is the second part of a discussion with our first guest, my wife, Dian Glover. We are still at the beach while Bruce and Cora the dog remain in Arkansas. We complete the topic of continuing to live life to the fullest into "retirement" or "wishing I was retired but still working," and the perspectives we believe are needed to keep going, not parking in front of the TV after you've "done your duty" in life. This is challenging, but adopting this new perspective will give you a new lease on life. It has done that for us. Thank you Tim Kellar for these perspectives.

So no matter your age, this can be the moment that your perspective about life and how to finish might change the rest of your life! That's a big statement, but maybe . . .

This is the last of the five questions we can ask ourselves to aid us in making better decisions. What does love require of me? Easy to say, hard to do. It requires putting others in front of myself.
