I like that Neo moment. It puts things into perspective.
You sound busy... doing commercials, running open houses and teaching along with darling daughter time and now looking for your socks.
We all do the best we can, learn from the booboo's and repeat what does work.
My newest line: When I want to say something, listen; when I don't what to say it, speak up.
I struggle with that urge of anger that comes when dealing with ex. Although it initially feels a little good, it works against me in the end. Ugh. And I always forget!
