Thankful Thursday

Late-ish but not late...

1. French place with dianthus.
2. Being heard *and* being reassured.
3. Knowing there are places and people where I can be vulnerable.
4. Being able to listen.
5. The stuff that had a big test backlog at work...isn't a big test backlog anymore. Still a backlog in many ways, but now test is currently waiting on others (and no, not just dev).
6. Knowing that I can help someone important to me deal with stress.
7. Good friends, even those I don't see enough of.
8. Time with myself.
9. Purring kitties.
10. Comfy new work-appropriate pants. I even hemmed them myself!
11. Real kisses.
12. Jesse ;)

QOTD

I heard a man who mediates disputes for a living say the biggest hurdle in most disputes is that each side sees only its half of the truth. One side will argue that the sky is blue while the other yells that the grass is green. Neither listens to the other or acknowledges the truth of what the other is saying. They argue and get nowhere. - Jerry Large column
