Last week in one of my therapy groups, we noticed how some members were asking “does this make sense?” when they were making complete sense.
We tried to make sense of this and discussed how people can doubt their ability to make sense when they’ve gotten messages from the culture and/or their families that they make less sense than others.
Does this make sense? That so many people receive undermining messages like that?
An older woman in the group shared how she has learned to stop asking “does this make sense?” when she is speaking, which made sense to the other members.
Does this make sense that I’m sharing these thoughts and images with you today?
Does this makes sense that “Bring Your Kids to Work Day” would be on a WEEKEND?
Here’s what I find on YouTube when I search for “does this make sense?”
It always makes sense for me to end my blog posts with thanks to all who try to make sense of them, including you!
The Year(s) of Living Non-Judgmentally 
There are a number of tentative variations of this. Know what I mean?
You know?
Nice one 🙂
Thanks, my friend.
I like that I think about your words and photos and my life makes more sense, Ann.
I like the way you think, my good friend.
Thanks for explaining your INR device. At first glance, I thought it was a thermometer informing you that your room was 32° c. (It looks like one that I have.) Unusually hot for this time of year.
Joan seems to be in her element.
It’s been a little hot around here, Maureen, but things are cooling down. Joan says hi!
Ann, here you go https://youtu.be/P9RjF-ZzaiE
Your comments always make sense!
I understand that many of us want reassurance that what we’re saying makes sense. It also makes sense to me that a lot of people enjoy sharing the “TED Talk Gorilla”, who I hope doesn’t violate your “No lectures” rule.
Nothing you share violates any of my rules, Chris, because you always make sense.
This post reminded me of a much earlier one of my post s on the topic of friendship. I’ve attached a link for my way to comment on the topic. https://phainopepla95.com/2015/07/31/post-839-long-goodbyes/
Thanks for sharing that wonderful post, Doug!
I love kind people.
I’m so glad your numbers are in the right zone, Ann. You take good care of yourself, so it DOES make sense that they would improve. 🙂
Hah! I missed your blog yesterday, but I made cookies for Nt’l Homemade Cookie Day anyway. So glad to have my activity affirmed. That makes sense to me!
