It is a sunny and beautiful this morning down in the town square. The air still has a chill to it from the overnight but spring is slowly but surely pushing her way into New England.
This morning B and I had a nice discussion while walking A. "So, I brought up an idea to the student council for this years spring fling" B said as we walked along. "But the student council president did not like the idea even though everyone else did" B continued. "So your locked in a power struggle with the him" I replied. I said a lot of other things having to do with ego, what is best for his constituency and winning the war vs the battle. Finally, B stopped, looked at me and said "Dad, sometimes it would be nice if you just listened instead of trying to fix everything. Mom says the same thing about you". He is right... I am always the mechanic when I should be an empathetic listener. I smiled and told him I was sorry. I am really happy that he is comfortable speaking his mind to me.
