Thankful for people with opinions!

I think I feel the swish of people stepping back from this post. Oh boy, really? Do I really want anybody's opinions? Sure! The other side of that card though might be that I'd like to be able to express mine as well. It's interesting how folks have their opinion, but seem less interested in hearing mine. I appreciate people who have ideas, opinions and are willing to think. There is a wonderful art to listening, processing and appreciating (not always agreeing) the thinking of others.
