I had a good friend who was a therapist. He said when he left his office and began encountering people in the general public, he always said a prayer of thanksgiving for his clients--that they cared enough about themselves & those they knew, & even strangers, to work on improving themselves whereas 99% of the world's people--didn't.

Think about that, Soup. How much & how hard you work & how many who don't. You bet your kids know the difference. They're around other parents, aren't they? Kids don't always understand the subtleties they observe, but they know.

Thanks for this!
