giving notice

Giving notice: as individuals, how we notice things that occur in our lives.

This is not a new idea. Of course we all notice our lives based on our backgrounds. Those shape our view.  The simplicity of the word resonates with me. We complicate things by feeling we need to detail/define/declare everything we talk about. Not true...at least from my perspective. ;)
My father-in-law used to call this unnecessary verbiage "suet".
Truth!

Not all interactions require response. Not all interactions mean there's a connection with each other deep enough to want to respond. That's okay.
It's just beneficial to give notice to how another person notices life.
It's just beneficial to give notice to how you yourself notices life, and how you choose your words to support your life.
