CONSIDERING CONSIDERATION

I feel with loving compassion the problems of others, without getting caught up in their predicaments that are offering them messages they need for their growth.—Ken Keyes

- Gregg Sanderson

I once had a person in a workshop share how she takes responsibility for herself. She tells other people how to talk to her. What a great idea! I think I’ll give it a try.

Here’s how you can speak to me and not hurt my feelings:

My name is Gregg, not Gregory, and it has an

extra “g” on the end. Get it right.

Don’t argue with me. Simply accept my

superior point of view.

I like country music and Broadway show

tunes. Don’t sneer.

I’m not tall, so please don’t say “short” around

me, and at dinner, don’t order shrimp.

Laugh at my jokes. Or else…
