Always nice to read a positive story
Many people are quick to complain if they aren't satisfied, but a lot less take the trouble to praise good service. We should all try to do both in equal measure (and it always feels good for both parties when you dish out some genuine appreciation).
Thank you for the kind words, Greg!
I grew up in a house with a very pessimistic and critical father who was constantly telling me everything wrong with anything I ever did/said/wanted to do. When I reached the age of 20yo, it was one of the promises I made to myself, to always be appreciative and look for the positive attributes in everything and everyone I encountered. Sure, it has led to some disappointments in the years following, but it has made my life, and many other people's lives, better as a result.
I know my father thought he was helping me when he was being critical(that is how he was raised), so we've been able to have an amicable relationship since then. He has even started being less negative in the last few years.
I still acknowledge the negative experiences, but do try to give whomever a second chance when possible. Sometimes the negatives do need to be mentioned. I left my first neutral feedback on eBay recently. But, after attempting to let the seller resolve the issue, I had no choice. Ebay wouldnt let me leave a negative(whichis what I would have preferred to do), but did allow a neutral.
Anyway, apologies for the tangent.
