Sometimes when folks have a hard exterior or “walls” up around their life, they will be better approached by a general word rather than something direct. For instance when writing a blog that is mostly read by family, you might say something general like, “ we won’t be traveling much this summer, we are wanting to stay home more and spend more at home time with the children”. That might be better accepted by Aunt Suzy then specifically saying that you had decided not to visit her. This works well when addressing political topics also. If our readers shut us off before the first word then it defeats the purpose of writing.
