Conversation connects us together. It’s the spoken extension of a handshake inviting someone to interact with us, come closer and exchange ideas. But have you ever found yourself at a loss of words? A lack of something to say? Or too comfortable to have to say anything at all?

We’ve all experienced that awkward moment in the elevator that’s moving way to slow as we hug our corner and the stranger across from us tries to keep their distance. Sometimes I wish I was better at “breaking the ice.” One shared sentence could make those floors pass by much quicker than the stillness of dead silence.

Then there’s the conversations we have with those we know all to well. I have been married for thirteen years and in a couple months we will celebrate our fourteenth anniversary. In the beginning we always had something to talk about. Current events in the news, things happening on campus, interesting facts, jokes, room mates and the list went on and on.

Now we go out for dinner, just the two of us. Seeking a little time together with out our busy children. As we sit at the dinner table together, we couldn’t possibly offer much hope to those around us just starting out in their relationships. Sitting across from each other staring blankly into each others eyes with out blinking, not saying a word and yet we are completely comfortable. No reason to flinch or look away because we can finish each others sentences, read each others minds and we are perfectly comfortable with each other. No matter how abnormal our staring contest may appear to onlookers. But let’s be honest, that’s weird! Although the silence is welcomed when you leave a world of WWF wrestling at home, it is still important to exchange ideas and express opinions and remember who we once were.

So I thought it might me fun at the end of each week to share some small piece of interesting information that I picked up. A little date night conversation starter, ice breaker or fun info to share with the family.

Did You Know?

Have you ever heard of Novemdecillion? It’s the number 1 followed by 60 zero’s and is equal to 1 million billion billion billion billion billion billion! To help give you a mental picture some scientist think that is greater than the number of stars in our universe.

I thought this would be fun to share with the kids at the dinner table. Or maybe since Valentines Day is approaching I will use it to tell my husband just how much I love him.
