Cyranoak-What I love the most about your posts is how you end them, saying "Take what you like and leave the rest."
For me, it's a reminder that I can read a post and all of the replies and whether I agree with them or not, don't have to get engaged in them. I have a tendency to want to immediately reply, to put my 2 cents worth in (here and on other forums), wanting to have the last word, to be right. It's one of my character defects that I am really working hard on.
When a particular post gets heated and I have the urge to jump in, a litle voice in my head reminds me to take what I like and leave the rest - to MYOB, to do sometimes like I do in Al-Anon, to sit and listen because that is just as healing as jumping in feet first.
Thanks, Cyranoak....hugs coming from me and puppy dog to you.
