Reading the signs

 I know I'm repeating myself but hey, it's my blog! How often do we realize the implications of not reading and understanding the signs. "Ice on Road" read it, understand it and ignore it at your peril but at least you have been made aware of the situation and can react accordingly. Don't read it and you could be in for one big surprise. That's an easy one the difficult ones are the unwritten signs, the body language, the words left unsaid. All signs, all as important in our daily lives as the ice on road sign. The problem is that these signs are far too easy to miss, more so in this age of interaction at a distance. OK we can type "lol" and "sigh" in our emails and messages but that's not quite the same as seeing the slight drop of the shoulders or narrowing of eyes that may accompany them in real life.These are the signs that make all the difference in our communication and they are lost, they never make it through the keyboard in so many of our daily interactions. They are the signs which make all the difference between being in the light or, sadly, in the dark.
