These blog posts always help me to modulate my behavior. I'm thankful for the work you do. Today I got a birthday card ready for our grown daughter. Instead of, like usual, adding a paragraph to it and asking my husband to add his bit (which ends up usually just being his signature), I wrote 5 or so words of affirmation, signed my name, and asked him if he wanted to add anything. He wrote a paragraph, and it was beautiful. I love watching for subtle ways family dynamics change when one person makes a small behavior adjustment.

Good advice. Would it be overfunctioning to share this article with someone? Serious question...
