First thing

I heard somewhere that your day or evening is shaped largely by what happens in the first five minutes. Watch what you say and do in the morning and when your spouse first comes home. Do you pay attention to your spouse? Are you glad to see them?

The apple for the day is: Keep your comments positive, hug, kiss, smile and express gratitude!...and anything else you can think of! :)

The same is true in our interactions with our children! It makes a big difference in the day when we are sweet and happy with our kids in the morning....and when we aren't!
