On this episode, I get a bit emotional as I share a failed attempt to have a surprise, fun, experience with my 2 1/2 year old. 

I was caught in a not-so-enjoyable situation with her and it took all my conscious effort to power through it. I'm sharing this because it's something that I know is important to hear, especially during hard days. 

We can all do better. We can all choose to be better as a person, a parent, a friend, anything. And when it comes to our kids, this is an absolute necessity. My train of thought, the one that I shared on this episode, is often not the one we tend to follow. But it is something we can work on. It's really like a muscle. If you consciouslly think about it often, it will become your greatest ally on your hard days.
