This is not one of those kind of goals that I can accomplish and cross off my list. I think this is a fluid goal and is on going. What this has done is make me very aware of the way I talk to my children. And what I want them to remember about me. I don’t want them to remember me always yelling at them. I want them to remember the conversations. I will keep this goal as my number one to be able to constantly be aware and work on this on a daily basis!! This has been totally WORTH DOING!!! And I will continue to do this until such time as they are all grown and moved out of the house – say in about 20 years!!!!!
