remember not... to mind a long, uncomfortable silence

..........I need to work on this! I feel an obligation to keep a conversation going. I see silence as a lull that allows too much vague thought. I get nervous when there is an uncomfy silence, and this is when I place my foot in my mouth most often. Talking to fill in the gaps is not always the best trait. So, I need to realize Silence is not always a bad thing!
