I somehow missed this thread completely
I've been doing it mainly related to my existing relationships. And funny thing.. my f-i-l who normally annoys me a LOT, doesn't do that anymore
The last few phone calls were just normal, nice, no teasing, no weird things, and once even just to thank me for having done a wonderful job....
I'm going into this slowly. I have no patience (and don't want to have the patience right now) to see things blowing up in my face...
As for living inspirational.. I do try to do that, except that I have to deal with my laziness. Sometimes laziness is inspirational, and sometimes it is simply laziness
