Baby Steps

I don't know why I chose that title, all I know is that I have been feeling myself make tiny improvements all around. I am trying to be more patient, more communicative (rather than argumentative) with my husband. I am trying to pick better times to bring up tough subjects with him (Need a lot of work there). I am making a conscious effort to learn from my mistakes - I'm about ready to write a few of these mistakes I make over and over on my hand.
I am trying to be positive. Trying to keep perspective - to not lose the forest in the trees. I am trying moderation. I am trying to practice what I preach. I am trying to breathe deeply and think before I speak. I am trying to be an example to my girls. I am trying to remember what it was like to be 7 & 11. I am trying to set realistic goals for myself and realistic expectations for others. I am trying to remember that when I am frustrated with someone, I'm not perfect either. I am trying to learn to balance humility with confidence - not to be mistaken for pride.
I'm trying new things to fix old problems.
