I'm not sure whether it is the influence of participating in BP, or just a fortuitous coincidence, but I have decided in the last six months to work on that aspect of holding the negative thoughts about others.  Doesn't come easily, but I can see the benefits ... and not just here on BP!

Thanks for being a great mentor.  And best wishes for the remainder of the festive season.
