SL, thought I'd share this from a discussion group yesterday... the goal is to (without thinking too hard) list things you know alot about. This was my list I shared with the group yesterday and I thought you might like to see what your readers have to say. We have folks from around the world and it was amazing to see the differences and the likenesses. ;-) Hope you like the idea:

I know a lot about the devastating loss of a brother and friend.

I know a lot about having to find the determination and motivation it
takes to continue on daily.

I know a lot about remaining sensitive to those around me and being the best person I can be. (Even when I don't feel like it)

I know that the only way to make a bad situation better is to learn from it and improve it in any way that I can.

I know a lot about taking the time to listen, whether it is my parents, a trainee who needs extra, or my husband that needs to vent about his day.

I know a lot about focusing on what is important to me and finding a way to make it happen.

I know that perseverance is vital to me, as is time in my flower gardens, and a sense of humor!

I know that I am surrounded by wonderful family and friends that encourage me and believe in me (even when I have a hard time believing in myself).

I know I still have many things to learn (trial and error may be mistakes for some but to me if an error has occurred, an attempt has been made!)

I know that I was born with some quality traits, and yet some things of importance I begrudgingly work at every day (patience is a big one ;-)

I know that I'm a good trainer and I share my experiences with those that are open minded and receptive enough to appreciate it. (And when they're not I dismiss it as their loss, not mine. These days I
refuse to sweat the small stuff! Unfortunately, my boss kindly,
respectfully, and with the grin of a Cheshire cat reminds me of my own work in progress --my "patience improvement")

I know that I would be good coaching "humanity" but for now I'm a
"software developers" facilitator and I'm being the best I can be.

And yes, I know a lot about the importance of patience, maintaining a
smile, and making the most of every day.
