I've had some very hard lessons about being negative in my life, and I have often created a negative message and then backspaced over it. Life's too short.
I also have become more selective about which threads I stop and read, everyone here has so much to offer that I'd forget to actually go into my work room if I wasn't being as attentive to my time. Notice this response is a week from the original - I'm trying to limit myself to one day for getting caught up each week.
