in the MTC 26 years ago. Of course my dislike for this person seemed justified. Sometimes people just rub you the wrong way and there's no getting around that. I wrote in my journal my feelings about him. Years later I reread those comments and tossed the journal in the Garbage where it belonged.

I never wanted my kids to read those petty comments I made about someone else. Over the years my attitude towards people has become much softer hopefully. My guess is that you'll read this post down the road and think maybe you shouldn't have sounded so harsh. The post says something about Max but also something about you. Not that you are a bad guy or anything. I've been there and sometimes people still rub me the wrong way but there really is more happiness in not focusing on the negative during tragic times like these.

Ok off my soapbox.
