This morning, my irritated wife asked me to stop doing something and as it happened, an old habit from childhood—attention seeking, and the use of it as a control mechanism—popped up into view. After biting back my reaction, a brief talk about it, I was able to see what was going on: Using other people to fill an emptiness inside, and at that, having poor timing about it—in the middle of the kids getting ready for school.

As they say: Another growth opportunity.

It's funny how things go sometimes. I feel peaceful and calm about it, thankful that she brought it to my attention, thankful that I was given the insight that will help me make a change for the good of myself and the people in my life.

It's a good morning.
