A Little Epiphany - (and a newbie delurking)

[Dia]

Ok, I worked myself out of my tree in part by counting my blessings. Thanks go out to those of you who called the fire department and brought ladders.

1) I found about 4 new jobs to apply for in H's town and I will complete those apps tomorrow.

2) I made myself a GAL list, so when I'm struggling I can pick someting off the list and go do it.

3) I tried out H's new game not just so I could praise him for it but because I was truthfully interested.

4) Then I called H to offer some heartfelt praise about how tickled I was with it and how impressed I was with him.

Like other praise attempts from me, he just glowed. He was completely tickled by my response - he used that word. I used it first to describe my reaction to the game, but then he used it back - so I know he was listening!! The praise drew him out to talk about the project, describing some details and his inspiration for it. I noticed that the artwork was all his own, and made sure to mention that a noticed.

I kept the convo short, saying that I had to get back to my folks. Leave em on a high note and wanting more, right?

Woo hoo! I can DO this!
