For me, I know I've crossed it when my emotions are pretty heated, my blood pressure goes up, and I want to drink wine (at 9:00 a.m.). So, really, NOT that fine of a line, I guess. :) Aaaaugh!

(Or that I see it this morning) There's been someone who has increasingly been using certain ideas, but last night...I found that she'd pretty much taken work of mine word for word (she was around at the beginning when the concept was born and has been a 'friend). I'd been letting it go but the 'word for word' thing just got to me. And I was really kind of proud of myself that I didn't just immediately react but have been thinking it through. But then wonder if coming to the same conclusion later, after some thought and prayerful consideration, means I'm still just reacting -- or responding. (ha!) I do have to admit that the strong emotion first associated with finding this out has dissipated, so the response (ahem) will probably be something that might be received in a much better way. I'm hoping anyway. ;-) Thanks for this! Love deb It’s so perfect that you post this this morning.
