Make things better by looking ahead....

[sage]

Forgot one other thing about the argument yesterday that is good info for me moving forward...

I think h. was particularly pissed because my "inference" of his words actually implied a much "meaner" stance on his part then he intended. In other words, I ASSumed that he meant something that painted him in a bad light -- kind of not giving him credit for wanting to solve the problem in a kinder, gentler way.

So....stop inferring, stop assuming the worst, LISTEN to what he's saying, keep emotional hotbuttons in check and don't REACT (ACT instead).

So much to learn....
