@Daonnachd: Sorry to hear about your sister but glad you got a word from her and are feeling some relief. I hope things resolve soon.

As usual, whenever i come here, i find what i need. I got all overwrought this evening because a young lady mocked a man i care for and respect saying her senior friend (who i think is a poisonous viper) calls the man an insulting name. I just did what i could, spoke my mind and said i thought the man was very skilled and talented. I've been stewing about it and just now i came across the advice to envision a positive outcome when worrying and to make it as detailed as possible.

So now i imagine that my words about the man's true characteristics will stick in the young lady's mind and she will have an open mind when she observes him from now on and will use her own judgement to see that he is not the incompetent this evil senior woman says he is, but is instead a master craftsman that we are lucky to have on staff.

Thanks Psych Central friends! I feel lighter!
