I agree with your encouragement of the National Day of Listening. Life offers many opportunities that we allow to pass us by because of our inability to listen when needed. We tend to hear our own voices and thoughts over others. Without realizing the limitations that we are placing upon ourselves in narrowing our opportunity to listen, we are not only limiting our growth, but the growth of others. I believe that listening is a universal opportunity that extends human communication through sound and emotion. On a day like the National Day of Listening, if we just stop to pay attention to what is being discussed around us, we may all actually hear something that changes someone's life.

I just returned from a family reunion so I'm particularly resonating with your idea of learning from different generations. It is refreshing to see the generations in a family interact in a respectful and loving way (as opposed to the multi generational workforce where there is often contention and lack of respect). There is much to learn from the different generations, I appreciate anew the level of energy that younger people have!
