And that they're usually the ones who are a little negative? And how other people are really good listeners? And that they're more often the ones who when they speak have something positive to say? I was in a room recently in which a man took all the air out of the room by talking only about himself. I watched while other people tried to be polite and listen, or gently change the subject to include others in the conversation. They changed their body language to move away from the person and some just left the room. I was in another room recently in which one person deftly engaged each of the others in the conversation, asking about their families, and so on. I watched as people moved closer together. This room was fi lled with what I call conversation generosity. The loving thing to do with others is to be generous in your conversation. So love others enough to really listen instead of just waiting to talk as you Listen to Life so you Live Positive. Do you practice conversation generousity? ListentoLife.org LISTEN TO LIFE by Dr. Joey Faucette For nothing will be impossible with God Luke 1:27 According to the National Park Service, March and April are primary months for the annual migration of the mon- arch butterfly. Monarchs have recently been reported in our area, but we are still in the early stages of the migration. The monarch is the only butterfly known to make a two-way migration as birds do. Unlike other butterflies that can overwinter as larvae, pupae, or even as adults in some species, monarchs can- not survive the cold winters of northern climates. Using environmental cues, the monarchs know when it is time to travel south for the winter. Monarchs use a combi- nation of air currents and ther- mals to travel long distances. Some fly as far as 3,000 miles to reach their winter home! Monarchs in Eastern North America have a second home in the Sierra Madre Mountains of Mexico. Monarchs in West- ern North America overwinter in California. The eastern population of North America's monarchs overwinters in the same 11 to 12 mountain areas in the States of Mexico and Michoacán from October to late March. Monarchs roost for the winter in oyamel fir forests at an elevation nearly 2 miles above sea level. The moun- tain hillsides of oyamel forest provide an ideal microclimate for the butterflies. Here tem- peratures range from 0 to 15 degrees Celsius. If the temper- ature is lower, the monarchs will be forced to use their fat reserves. The humidity in the oyamel forest assures the mon- archs won't dry out allowing them to conserve their energy. Conservation of overwin- tering habitat is very important to the survival of monarchs. The Mexican Government recognized the importance of oyamel forests to monarch butterflies and created the Monarch Butterfly Biosphere Reserve in 1986. Monarchs only travel dur- ing the day and need to find a roost at night. Monarchs gather close together during the cool autumn evenings. Roost sites are important to the monarch migration. Many of these loca- tions are used year after year. Often pine, fir and cedar trees are chosen for roosting. These trees have thick canopies that moderate the temperature and humidity at the roost site. In the mornings, monarchs bask in the sunlight to warm them- selves. The northern migration is tracked by an organization called Journey North.
