Des is slowly regaining her sanity (unfortunately?)
...that I have been saying unkind things about for a long time now. Mostly I’m just complaining, while at the same time making excuses for her. Nothing I’ve said about her is entirely untrue, but I think it’s time for me to start giving her a little bit more credit and benefit of the doubt. While she certainly says and does a number of things that are annoying and counter-productive, she doesn’t mean to be that way. I should try to be a little more understanding of her weaknesses.
I’ve also begun to realize that anything unkind I say about other people reflects much more negative light on me than on whomever I’m talking about.
