Please speak your mind. How awful would it be if nobody had opinions? And I think that empathy is one of my best qualities. As for my check in...I'm doing ok today....sitting here with my dogs watching a movie. I also handled a touchy situation with a friend yesterday..in which I had to tell him our friendship was on the line unless he changed some of his actions. He responded much better than I thought he would.
