Thanks! I really started to adopt a new philosophy when I visited this site and start reading the many threads. I started to "get it", and decided that I needed to focus on me. Today when I called the W to say I was picking up the S early to go to the zoo, she actually greeted me with an "up tempo" tone of voice as opposed to the recent "oh it's you" tone. She was smiling when I got there and even joked about a goofy hat I was wearing from the United Way event. I was literally singing a happy tune when I went to her place (as I have done in better days), and I think she was taken aback by my less than business like attitude when we did the hand-off. Maybe I'm reading too much into it, but she seemed to be amused by my happier than usual demeanor. Anyhow, I went out, had a good time and connected on a different level with a lot of people that I've been forced to be all business with. It was fun!!
