Dear friends, Tonight I had one of my famous difficult moments with my children and was about to think of a good way to put them right and have a good talk with them.  As I made them (my children are 4 and 7 yrs old) sit down and was about to start my preach of how they should... and how I did not enjoy... bla-bla, to my surprise I actually thought of suggesting them to tell each other, and me, one at a time, what they really appreciated about the other, and me. And so - again to my surpise - my children turned like by a spell from out of control, busy, fighting nuisances (all my impression), into open, sharing and enjoying children, that would gladly tell the most wonderful things about each other, and me. And after a few turns back and forth, we were laughing together as I have not yet laughed with my children before in my life. I am so happy about having made the choice to not be angry, even though I felt I was entitled to, and was shown this opportunity. Thank you, thank me!
