I didn't participate here because it just seemed too much for me to absorb...takes me awhile to figure out new people's situations, esp new people who are very analytic. I'm also trying to move forward with my own stuff, and it's easier to read the threads I'm familiar with. And I am trying to stay " solution focused" and not just get into tempting discussions. And, of course, when Cobra's on board, it takes me time to separate the wheat from the chaff. Lil, your posts can be just as long as Cobra's but for some reason I have an easier time with them.
Fearless and DERaven...how absolutely wonderful it is that you can communicate this way here.
Corri...The "first seek to understand" stuff...are you getting that from the Covey books? I recently got the 7 Habits of Families but haven't read it...gave it to H to read...it's practical and I think he'd like it. It came with conversation cards but I doubt we'll do them.
