"When you argue with your child, you may be "right,"
but do you feel happy?"
You wouldn't necessarily know that's what's happening here, it is. I want him to change his clothes. He didn't. I got it in my head that he could change once a day; the other kids changed with high frequency at Grandma's request. We had our pictures taken anyway. Did anyone really give a shit? NO! Was it worth it? NO! Neither is spending any time now regretting it. It's a gift to be aware, to know, to choose. So thanks to my friend for these perfect words and their arrival before me this morning.

"I'd rather feel good than be right!"
