Put one foot in front of the other...

So, it's been several weeks since we had money issues. This past week we have had a couple unexpected expenses which will make this pay period tight. My H says, "We don't make enough money to live". Now this is an outright exaggeration. In the past I would have just ignored the statement, but this time I said , "I can see how you would feel that way". He nodded and then was quiet. A few minutes later he got up and made nachos for us. His mood in the past would have lasted a few days. This time, with validation, he was better in 20.
