What a great story, it's always good to be reminded of how special each moment, each person is.

When I did crisis intervention training, we were each given a large envelope that was thumb-tacked to the wall for the duration of the course (6 weeks). There were about a dozen of us in the class. Every week, we put a good thought about each of the others into her envelope (it was training for a rape line, so we were all wommyn). At the end of the course, we each had something positive to turn to when we might be feeling kinda useless and burnt-out after a particularly distressing call. Something to remind us of the good qualities that others see in us. I still have my envelope, just like the folks in the story, but haven't looked in it for a few years. Think I'll go dig it up.

Thanks for reminding me of this, teejay. I could use it right now.

You folk here are great! I'm happy I finally hooked up with some fellow exJWs and no longer have to feel like 'the only one I know'.

That's nice....when I got fired a few weeks ago, I sent an email saying good bye to me coworkers. In it I did not mention anything regarding why I was canned, but listed out for all to see what I heard learned from each person. I showed it to my son, and said, see...even when you get pissed on it is important to remember the little peeps, and remember what you have learned from them.

I have to admit, there was this one guy that was a complete bonehead..but he was a neat freak, and I am a complete slob...in fact, I used to move pens on his desk minutely every few weeks...drove him insane. Anyway, I wrote that I had learned that keeping a neat desk is possible....so I guess I still was a little bit of a bitch muhahaahaha.
