This is for those folks on this forum who help people, help me included, who are patient, never short, always understanding, always respectful, always seeking to help the person in the less knowledgeable situation. While I try to be like you, I know I'm not- I frequently don't have the necessary patience, even though I dearly wish I did.
I just wanted to say a heartfelt _thank you_ to all of you, you know who you are. This includes those of you with whom I've butted heads in the past on issues. I'm stubborn. Much of what I've learned was hard fought for... but in the end, I seek the truth and I _will change_ to accept it, even if it at first seems like I won't. I strive constantly to think before I speak, to not jump to conclusions... and yet, I continue to do it. I fervently wish I had the patience and grace of some of you... indeed I do.
...and it is because you were patient with me, that I, in the end, change my viewpoint and understanding.
_thank you_
Please don't ever stop being the natural teachers you are. This Thanksgiving, though it's early, I'm thankful for _you_.
