It's not you, it's me

Hello all you hiding in the spotlight

I am not sure if you saw or care, but Hillary Clinton was in the news making some noise. Apparently she was in the Congo giving some kind of briefing. I think a teen asked her a question. Supposedly it was mistranslated by the French. I don't know the full details, but it seems the way the question came out asked her about Bill's opinion on a matter. Hillary erupted saying she was the Secretary of State and she was not going to channel Bill.

I can relate to someone asking about what another person thinks. It is sort of frustrating when a person asks you want another person is thinking. The question that always gets me is "How is (insert name here) doing?" I usually say fine and add as far as I know. Do we truly know how anyone is doing or what they are thinking. Some people are easy to read. Of course the more time you spend with someone you should pick up on their body language. Should being the word I use. It still takes me awhile. Until I hear the audible sighs. Oh well, I will get there one day.

However, when you are in the public realm you must be more careful what you say. Unless you like the attention. That is not to say that those in your immediate life don't need special attention because they do. So just be careful what you say. I guess the words of someone ring true, "If you can't say something nice, then don't say anything." Unless you get paid big bucks to repeat gossip.
