"I'm glad you told me"

[Gerianne]

There are many times when I feel this way when someone tells me something I didn't know.
There is so much valuable information regarding health, finances......etc.

This happens to me a lot also.  No matter how much we know, we can always learn and know more!   Just be open to it.

Exactly. Everyone can become a better person in some area.

I'm like that most of the times.  There has been times that I wish I hadn't learned something that was told to me.  Sometimes ignorance is bliss!

I try to say "I'm glad you told me" to my two sons who went through a short spell of lying. They now know that what's worse than the behavior is then lying about it. Sometimes I find it hard to genuinely and honestly say "thank you for telling me" but I have to. My kids have to know that telling the truth is hard, but lying about it makes everything even worse. Sometimes I say, "thank you for being brave and fessing up!"
