You know what OT does (and NYS used to do too) beyond give us good advice, at least for me? She makes me really take a look at my decisions and if I value them, am sure of them, really commit to them. She is like a wishy-washy filter. She does not allow us to short change ourselves by thinking we just have things happen to us. She forces us to take a stand for ourselves, even if it's first to her on the board (and in turn in real life) and in doing so, I think empowers us to make better, more reasoned decisions when all we seem to want to do is rashly react to every little thing that happens.
Sorry for the little hijack, but it occurred to me that I sometimes do the same thing you did by posting that "OT will get me for this". Maybe we need WWOTD braclets to wear. You know what though, I have found that if you are making the choice for yourself, even if it's maybe not the best one, and NOT allowing things to be decided for you, she usually is supportive. It's just when you are a victim that you get verbally smacked down. (I hope she doesn't get me for that...lol). Anyway, consider this my little tribute to OT. She's really helped me, and yes, we are lucky to have her.
